The Sixth Form curriculum focuses on developing students’ ability to make choices and decisions about their lives, and developing the confidence, skills and independence, attitude and communication skills to succeed as young adults. Throughout sixth form there is a focus on problem solving and building resilience as part of an holistic approach to prepare them for adulthood.

Within our sixth form offer, we cater for a wide range of pupils with varying needs and as such we offer pathways broadly aligned to the whole school pathways.

Pupils on our Yellow and Lime pathways follow sensory and exploratory learning with a focus on engagement and participation, working towards ASDAN personal progress linked to preparation for adulthood. The focus within transitions often focuses on social care provision for these young people.

Learners on our Green pathway, also work towards the ASDAN accreditation achieving unit accreditation at a higher level on the ASDAN achievement continuum, and completing subject specific units of work. Transitions often follow a blend of social care and further education.

Pupils on our Orange pathway work towards princes trust personal development and employability accreditations, ASDAN personal progress, achieving at the top of the achievement continuum, English and Maths functional skills from Entry Level 1 - Level 2, Duke of Edinburgh and Sports award.

All pupils within Sixth Form access a varied curriculum closely aligned to preparation for adulthood including work related learning, community inclusion, travel training, independence and life skills, leisure and work experience. RSE, PSHE, Sports and Creative and Expressive art are all part of a balanced curriculum supporting preparation for adulthood and are either linked to accreditations or awards, or delivered as stand-alone sessions, workshops or projects.

Careers and enterprise learning underpin our 6th form curriculum with strong links throughout all accreditations. Pupil led social enterprises and ventures are undertaken, supporting pupils to develop a broad skill set, make decisions about their futures and determine their likes/dislikes as well as their strengths and areas for development in a supportive low risk environment. We have strong links with social care, employers, further education colleges and training providers in accordance with Provider access legislation. This enables us to support pupils to have the best opportunities beyond school. We pride ourselves on consistently high COMPASS results demonstrating an ongoing commitment to meeting all 8 GATSBY benchmarks.

Pupils continue to have Individual learning plans informed by PCR meetings and EHCP outcomes, with strong preparation for adulthood links, which support planning and assessment throughout sixth form.
