Phases

Landon School educates children and young people from age 5 to 18, organised into three phases: Primary (ages 5 to 11), Secondary (ages 11 to 16) and Post-16 (ages 16 to 18).

The phases give structure and age-appropriate expectations to our pupils' journey through school, while our three curriculum pathways – Explore, Semi-Formal and Formal – ensure that learning within each phase is matched to how each pupil learns best. A pupil's class is planned around both their phase and their pathway, so that content is always age-respectful and developmentally right.

Whatever the phase, some things never change: small classes with high staffing ratios, communication and self-regulation at the centre of the day (using the SCERTS framework), therapy woven into learning, and an unwavering focus on preparing every pupil for the fullest possible adult life.
