  • 16+ Provision

    We’re committed to preparing every young person for a fulfilling, independent future.

    Our 16+ provision supports students aged 16–25 through personalised learning pathways, expert pastoral care, and a nurturing environment that builds confidence, resilience, and ambition. Whether a student’s goal is university, employment, or independent living, we provide the structure and support they need to take their next step with confidence.

    A Personalised Approach to Learning

    We offer three flexible pathways to suit different aspirations and learning styles:

    • Academic Pathway – A-levels and Level 3 qualifications, with expert guidance on university and apprenticeship routes.
    • Vocational Pathway – Industry-relevant courses paired with employability training and Functional Skills or GCSE resits.
    • Independent Living Pathway – Focused on practical life skills, independence, and community confidence, supported by qualifications in cookery, employability, and ASDAN.

    Each student follows a curriculum that is individually tailored to their needs, supported by a dedicated team of subject teachers, support staff and our SENCO.

    Beyond the Classroom

    From enrichment activities and onsite fitness to arts, IT, and creative media, our students are encouraged to develop holistically. We promote personal development alongside academic success, so every learner can thrive—socially, emotionally, and professionally.

    Our pastoral care system ensures that each student is known, understood, and supported. Every student is assigned a key worker, and families are actively involved in planning for the future.

    Planning for What Comes Next

    We work with students and families to prepare them for life beyond education. Careers guidance, work experience placements, university application support, and job readiness are all built into our programme.

    Curriculum

    Nestled in the beautiful surroundings of the Fordham House Estate, our cutting-edge 16+ facilities provide an exceptional environment where students are empowered to thrive. Learning takes place across a collection of purpose-designed spaces: The Studio – a bespoke hub for Art and Design; The Barn – home to Cookery, Beauty, and Life Skills; and the Equiano Building, which houses our Creative Media and Music suites alongside adaptable classroom spaces designed to support a range of learning styles.

    Our 16+ provision offers a dynamic and inclusive curriculum, combining academically rigorous pathways with vocational routes and Independent Living programmes. This flexible approach ensures that every student is supported in pursuing a path that aligns with their strengths, aspirations, and future ambitions.
