Our Pathway 1 and Pathway 2 curriculum is based on the National Curriculum; it is broad, balanced, engaging and, more importantly, relevant to our students’ needs and interests.

Pathway 1

While these students engage with the national curriculum, they also focus on consolidating and developing foundational skills acquired during their primary education. Pathway 1 provides a balanced approach that combines academic rigour with essential life skills and communication support. This rigorous academic framework enables students to achieve a variety of formal qualifications, including GCSEs in English Language, Maths, and Biology, as well as Entry Level qualifications in English, Maths, Science, Personal Development, and Life Skills. We firmly believe that preparing our students for adulthood is crucial in equipping them with the necessary knowledge and skills to successfully transition to the next stage of their learning.
