Within each of our subject areas we have carefully mapped how skills and knowledge progress over time.  This informs our planning of next steps for each learner to help them develop to the very best of their ability. Below are long term plans illustrating how we have mapped the development and building of knowledge over time within the yellow pathway:

Yellow Lower KS2

Yellow Upper KS2

Yellow KS3 1

Yellow KS3 2

Yellow KS3 3

Yellow KS4

For each subject we have carefully thought out the skills learners need to develop and how these build over time.  Click on the subject titles to see how we have mapped these skills to continually inform teachers of students next steps in the assess, plan, do, review cycle.

      


      


    


Within Key Stage 4 students follow courses accredited by examining bodies - at present these are via ASDAN and Pearson Edexcel. All other work is credited to the AQA framework which gives comprehensive recognition of the knowledge and skills the students have gained to be recognised by future employers.  These courses are based on work completed in school and involve a wide variety of relevant opportunities.  Here's some information about the progression in learning and different level qualifications that can be achieved in English and Maths.

Take a look at the Upper School area of the website for more information on opportunities within Key Stage 4 and Sixth Form.


We have also developed teaching progression frameworks for the core subjects in order to demonstrate how learning progresses over time.  These guides are also a useful tool to parents and carers as they illustrate the methods we use at school within our teaching.
