Mapledown is dedicated to providing a rich, deep and demanding curriculum at levels appropriate to the developmental understanding of our students. It is the outcome of ongoing work at Mapledown, as the school has evolved over the years and is now catering for young people in Barnet with a wider range of needs. In 2018, Mapledown was inspected by Ofsted. The outcome from the inspection, and a new leadership team, encouraged the school to further examine and completely update the curriculum that is offered.
