Sixth Form Curriculum and
Work Experience
The aim of our Sixth Form curriculum is to provide pupils with meaningful and highly individualised learning experiences to prepare them for life beyond Paddock.
Within the Sixth Form Department we aspire for all pupils to gain the knowledge and skills needed to study for qualifications which are in line with their personal aspirations.

In the Sixth Form, pupils follow a highly functional curriculum structured around the Preparation for Adulthood framework and ASDAN principles, designed to meet their individual needs and ensure ambition for all learners.
Core skills in functional literacy, numeracy and independent living are taught through discrete sessions and reinforced through planned on-site and off-site functional and meaningful activities across the week.
The curriculum is person-centred, with ASDAN Personal Progress qualifications reflecting pupil voice and individual aspirations. Pupils are supported to make informed choices about their education and next steps, to best prepare them for life beyond Paddock.
