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 Lifeskills programme, following different accreditation pathways depending upon the level they are working at.
Core lessons in Literacy, Numeracy, ICT, Science and PE are delivered discretely in small groups. Students also follow a Lifeskills programme that covers RE, Citizenship and Humanities, as well as community based skills, home management skills and personal care skills. The students also engage in two option groups from a range of Art and Vocational options.
