Phase 3​(including 6th form)

 Phase 3​

In this phase we prepare our students for their next steps once they leave school.​

With this in mind, the curriculum is outward looking, involving life skills opportunities, work placements and off site courses. Students are encouraged to develop their life skills in a number of different ways.​

All pupils have a personalised learning programme (PLP) tailored to their individual ability. This typically involves basic skills, life skills, PSHE, creative arts, sports and leisure, enterprise, and employability. ​

Planning for this phase starts in year 9, where a person centred planning meeting helps to identify priorities for the pupil.
