1-1, Remote and Bedside Teaching

Becton School teach pupils 1-1 at both Sheffield Children's Hospital and in some cases at Chapel House.

All 1-1 lessons are bespoke and tailored to meet the individual needs of the pupil.

We work with the pupil's home school to identify any gaps in learning that may have occurred due to illness and absence from school, or any areas of need. We will then work with the pupil, their family, medical staff and home school to support the continuation of learning to try to prevent any future gaps, and to address any needs identified. We are led by the medical staff and follow their guidance to ensure that our educational offer is appropriate and suited to the pupil's current health and medical needs.

Most pupils are offered one session per day, but this may change according to medical needs. We have specialist Primary, SEND, English, Maths, and Science teachers in both our Hospital and Outreach teams. We also deliver non-specialist lessons as supported by the pupil's main school. At Sheffield Children's Hospital we also have a STEM teacher on the team.

Children and young people with SEND and PMLD are offered appropriate teaching and educational support at all key stages.

The national curriculum subject offer is further supported and complemented by our enrichment programme which is designed to help pupils develop new skills, broaden their horizons and encourage personal and social development.

Some KS1 and KS2 pupils who are on Outreach may be offered an AV1 robot package. Details of this provision can be viewed here
