Our Curriculum Offer

The intention of the KS3 programmes is to provide a broad and balanced curriculum which incorporates both academic and practical subjects. There is a focus on personal and social development and students are supported by staff to think about their behaviour, recognise the triggers for any unacceptable behaviour and consider and implement any strategies for improvement. Schools and Partnerships will refer students for a part-time programme with a view to the students remaining on their roll. Students who attend the full-time 6 week programme will either return to school, secure a managed move to another mainstream school or move on to a Special School. Some SEND students who may already have an EHCP and are awaiting a place at a Special School or are nearing the end of the Statutory Assessment process are often referred to Uneek Learning for support.

Key Stage 4 students are academically assessed in maths, English and ICT using the BKSB assessment and diagnostic tool. This quickly establishes working at levels for students and work can be appropriately differentiated. Students receive support on vocational learning opportunities through the use of Lead Tutors and the Vocational Co-ordinator. This enables the young people to make well informed realistic decisions about the selection of appropriate vocational provisions and to complete the continuum of support in the young person’s varied educational pathways.

The pathways are progressive and ability specific with YR 10 / YR11 students following a Functional Skills Maths, English, ICT and PSD programme. This offers on demand testing and builds success, achievement and progression into the young person’s education quickly throughout the academic year.

This range of academic and vocational qualifications is diverse and allows the young people to select what Vocational pathway they want to follow. They also receive the support from a bespoke Vocational Co-ordinator to assist with attendance/attainment and pastoral matters. The Vocational Co-ordinator liaise with the KS4 Tutors to create a joined up and progressive pathway into Post-16 applications and destinations. The KS4 team also benefits from the use of a PA that is allocated from Leicestershire Connexions. This wrap around support ensures that all Yr 11 leavers receive a FE or training provider opportunity Post-16.
