Assessment Unit

Our Assessment Unit caters for children in EYFS and Key Stage 1.


At Castle Hill, our Assessment Unit caters for children who present with a range of difficulties and a combination of needs which require a multi-disciplinary approach and intervention. 

We have adopted a 'Total Communication' environment to develop children's attention, communication and regulation through using a variety of approaches regularly adapted to meet the needs of all pupils. 



Teaching and learning is planned for using: the engagement model, pre-key stage standards and the National Curriculum.


The Assessment Unit aims to prepare pupils for their next phase in education.
