The DSP is for Pupils with Moderate Learning Difficulties at Stationers’ Crown Woods Academy. Staff support pupils with MLD all of whom receive full time shared support across the board of the NC curriculum either in the mainstream schools or in the DSP. Our pupils follow a balanced differentiated curriculum, tailored to their specific individual abilities and needs in accordance with the long-term objectives as recorded in their statements of SEND. We aim to enable our pupils to achieve their maximum potential.
Alternative Curriculum
The DSP pupils attend weekly life skills – literacy lessons, where activities are appropriately differentiated to the specific pupils’ abilities and needs, allowing the pupils to make progress with their literacy skills at their own pace.



Speech and Language Therapy (SALT)
DSP pupils benefit from weekly specialist Speech and Language Therapy input.
Specialist staff deliver a range of valuable language, social and communication skills as well as life skills sessions targeted at the specific individual needs of our pupils in accordance with their Statements of SEN.
TITAN – Independent Travel Training
The pupils develop awareness of road safety and learn how to read road signs, bus / train timetables, plan journeys, resulting in boosting their confidence in travelling on public transport.
