Our Seniors Classes offer a person-centred functional curriculum that supports students to utilise the skills they have acquired as they have progressed through the school and apply them in practical, real life situations.

Students are supported in a culture of respect to begin to explore their future, developing independence and decision-making skills. Students have a core curriculum and are then supported to choose other subjects: these include cookery; horse riding; art; rural skills; walking; media; outdoor education; textiles; music and drama.

All subjects are based on the Functional Skills qualifications of English, Maths and ICT and BTEC (pre-vocational) to cover areas such as Home Cooking Skills, Business and the Duke of Edinburgh award.

Students explore the world of work through either on site work-related learning or work experience and placements, including Morrisons, local community cafés, community centres and charity shops.

Social skills are developed and embedded through a variety of residential opportunities which take place each year. Upper school students are given the opportunity to attend a Summer Ball at the end of each year, giving them the chance to experience a key life event like their mainstream peers.
