Our curriculum
The Key Stage 4 Offer
We review our Key Stage 4 Curriculum annually, and our aim is to develop a curriculum which maximises the chances of pupils gaining relevant qualifications which enable them to move to their chosen destination post 16. If we get this right, then pupils stand a significant chance of being able to engage positively in education, employment or training.
In developing our Key Stage 4 curriculum, our main aim has been to maximise the chances that, after leaving us our students will engage positively in education, employment or training. Having been assessed as part of their induction, our students will find themselves on a pathway that is either vocational, academic or a combination of the two.

The aims of the Key Stage 3 curriculum are:
- To prepare pupils for reintegration back into a mainstream school or to assess and prepare them for a move to another more appropriate school
- To give pupils an opportunity to address the reasons why they are no longer in their previous school and to demonstrate the resilience needed for the next transition.
- To work with families, carers and professionals to support their child’s education.
- To support schools and children to give them the best opportunity to make a successful transition.
- To address gaps in learning, focusing on skills development
