Exams, Accreditations and Destinations

Many of our pupils will not take national tests such as SATs, but the teaching team continually assess our pupils and an informed decision is made on a case-by-case basis.

We set high expectations for our students.  At KS4 and KS5, the school delivers a variety of nationally recognised accreditation and certification in a range of subjects.  Our curriculum stretches and challenges our students to achieve as much as possible, with each student working towards achieving the highest level they are able.

At Key Stage 4 our pupils work towards accredited courses, including Functional skills, Entry Level or GCSE in English, Maths, Science, ICT, Art/Photography, History and Geography. We also offer vocational qualifications at level 1 or Level 2 in  Life and Living skills; BTEC sport and Fitness; Mechanics; Catering and Hospitality; Hair & Beauty; and Horticulture. 

At Key Stage 5 all students work towards OCR Entry Level Life and Living Skills and continue to work on English and Maths to achieve GCSE or Functional Skills Level 1 or 2. KS5 are also offered a choice of 2 vocational options in BTEC sport and Fitness; Mechanics; Catering and Hospitality; Hair & Beauty; or Horticulture.
