Welcome to Caterpillar Class, our Enhanced Pathway class! 

We are thrilled to have established our Enhanced Pathway class at Botley School, a dedicated Special Educational Needs class designed to provide exceptional educational provision for pupils with specific communication and interaction needs. These specialised settings are designed to meet the needs of pupils whose learning requirements necessitate a highly tailored approach, exceeding the level of support typically available within a mainstream classroom environment.

The Enhanced Pathway provision also extends its reach through outreach work, providing targeted interventions and support for pupils who are primarily integrated within mainstream classrooms but benefit from additional assistance and structured time away from the larger class setting.

Meet your teacher – Mrs Reka Chrystal

I am delighted to be joining the school as Teacher of SEND. I have 25 years of experience working with children from Nursery through to Key Stage 2, in both mainstream and specialist settings, which has given me a broad understanding of the diverse needs of learners. Your core values have attracted me to the school.

I believe that every child is unique and deserves an education that is tailored to their individual strengths, interests, and needs. I base my teaching on practical, creative activities which draw the learners in and motivate them.

I am passionate about outdoor education, environmental awareness, and arts and crafts. In my free time, I like to read, go for walks, visit new places or go swimming.

I am excited about becoming part of the school community and look forward to working closely with pupils, families, and colleagues to help every child achieve their full potential.
