Curriculum

Our curriculum is founded in the 'Preparation for Adulthood' themes of employment, independent living, Friends Relationships & Community and Good Health.

We use these themes, underpinned by the NOCN qualifications, learner's individual aspirations for the future and our expertise in accessible education to define their Education Health and Care (EHC) plan outcomes. This ensures that the outcomes are relevant to the transitional life phase and educational needs of the learner.

Learners achieve NOCN qualifications over the three years and are also encouraged to achieve Arts and Sports Awards.
