At Key stage 4 there is an emphasis on Life Skills and ‘Functional’ learning .Students visit the local community and experience vocational sessions in preparation for experiences at College and beyond school life.

Accreditation at Key stage 4 is tailored to individual need and supports our Creative Curriculum:

GOpen Awards –Independent Living Skills
OCR-Functional Skills
Vocational taster sessions
Open Awards ‘Badge of Excellence’ in Life skills and Sensory engagement
GCSEs as appropriate in line with inclusion links

Students with Profound and Multiple Learning Difficulties at Key stage 3 and 4 follow the Sensory pathway, focusing on Early Communication and Cognitive skills. As in all departments Communication underpins all areas of the Sensory Curriculum and is supported through spoken language, use of signing, visual cues and high and low tech communication aids. The creative topic choices provide effective and stimulating teaching programmes suitable for each individual learner.
