Our Curriculum

Students benefit from a broad and balanced curriculum, allied to the national curriculum, tailored to meet students’ individual needs.

At KS3, students are given the opportunity to experience the full breadth of subjects which ensures that they are able follow their interests, passions and strengths into their accreditation pathway in KS4. Students benefit from a universal offer which includes embedded academic and therapeutic support and approaches focussed on reducing barriers to curriculum and community access.

At KS4, students are able to study options from within two pathways- Further Education and Further Employment. Typically, the Further Education pathway supports students to gain GCSEs in preparation for studying A levels while the Further Employment pathway focusses on Functional Skills and BTECs. Students can work across the two different pathways which ensures that they have the best opportunities to achieve the highest possible outcomes.

In addition to our core curriculum offer, students’ personal development is supported through a broad enrichment offer which includes educational visits, regular access to the local community and our developing vocational offer – The Workshop, where students have the opportunity to experience a range of vocational activities and develop key skills in their preferred areas to support practical independent life skills and access to specialist courses or training in Further Education.
