Curriculum Aims
The Alternative Curriculum aims to enable students the opportunity to develop skills and experiences that might not be available or achievable within a mainstream education. The curriculum allows the scope and flexibility to take on students throughout the academic year who are at risk of being disapplied.
The Alternative Curriculum offers students the chance to become more independent and have a positive experience in both KS3 and KS4. This will then allow students to enjoy their own learning beyond the classroom following a Vocational and Enrichment programme. This alternative pathway provides all students a chance to thrive, prosper and succeed at their own pace. All students will undertake a range of qualifications at the appropriate level to ensure post-school progression into a positive destination. To further develop the knowledge, skills and qualities to support them to take a meaningful and worthwhile place in society. Develop the skills for life, learning and work and experience challenge and success.
