Students will access English and maths qualifications at either functional skills or GCSE level depending on their academic ability, which we assess when they join us.
Alongside these main subjects, students also have lessons in creative subjects, such as Art.
Lessons are delivered on Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays of each week.
Class sizes are no larger than 16 students per class.
Assessment will be through exams.
For GCSEs, students will sit these at the same time as their peers using the nationally set exam dates.
For functional skills, students are entered for exams at set points in the year when the teaching team feel that it is appropriate and students have a good chance of passing.
This will be variable according to what qualification level the student has been placed on to but the following qualifications will be delivered within the department:
GCSE English language. GCSE Mathematics. Functional skills English at Entry level 1,2,3 or Level 1. Functional skills maths at Entry level 1,2,3 or Level 1.
Students can progress onto a main stream college course for their post 16 education using the qualifications they have gained from attending our provision.
There are no extra costs.
We also have a mentor team who work alongside our teaching team to ensure that students receive high levels of pastoral support throughout their placement with us.
There is no fee charged directly to the students or the parents/ guardians in order for them to access the course. However, the following admissions criteria applies:
Students are only able to join us as a year 11 student (aged 15 before the 1st of September). Students must be officially registered with the home education team for a minimum of 6 months prior to joining (evidence of this will be required).
Please be aware that we maintain contact with the home education throughout the young persons’ placement with us to ensure that they are fully supported.
