A curriculum that follows the learner.
Our students choose pathways across academic, creative and vocational subjects. Every timetable is built around the individual, and qualifications are sequenced from Entry Level upwards.
Subjects we offer
Each subject is led by a specialist teacher and adapted to the needs of the group. Tap a subject to read more about how we teach it.
Multi-subject collaborative teaching.
In addition to addressing literacy and mathematics across all subjects, several teachers deliver accreditations in a cross-curriculum format. Beautiful results grow out of this work — we spoke with three of our teachers who deliver ASDAN and Arts Award about how they tackle this.
Arts Award
Melanie coordinates Arts Award, a portfolio-based course which allows young people to achieve a high level qualification without sitting a formal exam. It involves lots of different opportunities to engage creatively — Arts Award may consist of music, craft, mixed media and gaming.
ASDAN
ASDAN is portfolio-based too. It enables students to focus specifically on the areas they find most difficult — typically organisation and planning, social communication and teamwork, problem solving and self-efficacy.
Collaborative delivery
Teachers collaborate on different parts of the qualifications. Barney uses his other role as founder of CIC Woodwork for Wellbeing to fulfil the module of Arts Award involving working with a practitioner from an arts background. He values opportunities to draw on different areas of expertise across the school to support the design and delivery of both courses.
“Explicitly teaching and practising transferable skills facilitates students to not only feel more confident in their academic studies, but also in how they navigate the real world — both now and in the future.”
