Classes for 13 to 16 year olds

Classes for 13 to 16 year olds Students from Year 9 (13 years old) to Year 11 (16 years old) are taught in year group classes in the Life skills programme, following personalised pathways depending upon the level at which they are working. Core lessons in Literacy, Numeracy, ICT, Science and PE are delivered discretely in both a whole class setting and in small groups. Additionally, students follow a Life skills programme that covers RE, Citizenship and Humanities, as well as community based skills, home management skills and personal care skills. The students also access two option groups per week which are externally accredited. All students access a bespoke work related learning experience throughout the Life skills programme.
