Our Curriculum
SofiNo Education offers a tailored approach to education, designed to empower every young person. We’re open to collaborating with local authorities and professionals, providing flexible and thoughtful approaches that support each young person’s individual journey.
Tailored Curriculum
By adapting teaching methods, goals, and resources to fit each child’s and young person’s needs, our tailored curriculum makes sure that learning is both accessible and meaningful.
Vocational Opportunities
With a focus on career development, we provide young people the chance to learn valuable skills that will prepare them for a successful transition into the workforce.
Learning Beyond the Classroom
True learning happens when students are actively engaged in the world around them. Our pupils have the opportunity to learn in real-world settings, from field trips to hands-on projects that connect classroom knowledge to everyday life.
Employability Skills
To make sure that our students are fully prepared for their future careers, we focus on teaching essential employability skills. Through practical lessons in leadership, adaptability, and communication, they’ll gain the employability skills that will serve them throughout their careers.
Admissions Process
Submit an Enquiry or Referral
Start by submitting an enquiry or referral through our website or directly contacting our team. We’re here to assist with any questions and guide you through the process.
We'll Reach Out To You
After receiving your enquiry, we’ll contact you to discuss your child’s needs and how SofiNo Education can provide the right support. While all referrals must come through the Local Authority, we’re happy to assist with enquiries from parents and carers. All referrals must be made by the Local Authority, however we are happy to assist with enquiries from Parents/Carers
EHCP Assessment
If your child has an EHCP, we’ll conduct a thorough assessment to determine if we can meet their needs. We’ll then confirm whether a placement is offered, and if not, provide the rationale. Any placement offer will be sent to the placing authority for review. Following the assessment we will confirm if a placement is being offered and where it is not, the rationale for this. The offer of a placement would be made to the placing Authority for their review.
Enrolment
Following confirmation of acceptance of the placement offer from the Local Authority, working in partnership with Parents/Carers and other professionals, we will support your child to have a positive start on their new learning journey.
