Community Classroom

About

The Community Classroom is a satellite provision based in the local village of Stanstead Abbotts. Located next door to our existing charity shop, the Community Classroom allows it's pupils to be in the heart of their local community. The space consists of a large classroom, fully functioning kitchen, a social diner area and an art studio. The newly renovated building contains all new equipment with vibrant colours and resources. By being off-site, pupils are granted with a sense of trust and responsibility, where they know they are representing their school whilst in the community. 

The Community Class curriculum comprises of areas that are important for the transition from Amwell View to life after school. Pupils are given the opportunity to complete work experience placements, learn home management skills, cater lunches for themselves and peers, allow their creative capabilities to shine and generalise these skills in various off-site contexts. 

The Community Classroom still remains closely linked to the main site; Music, Science and Dance lessons are delivered at school and pupils return for assemblies. The Community Classroom frequently hosts classes from the main site in their village classroom to share what they have been up to and practise new skills they have learnt. Pupils arrive and depart from the main school building for continuity, with transport to and from the village classroom and to any off-site trips being provided for in the new Community Class minibus.
