Accreditation & Qualifications
Our learners are supported to achieve nationally recognised accreditation in a variety of subjects.
Where appropriate, our learners who are members of our inclusion classes take part in mainstream lessons which work towards exams such as SATs at Key Stage 2 and GCSEs in Key Stage 4, working alongside Haslingden High School.
Our students work towards a wide variety of GCSE subjects and accreditations.
We always consider the learners’ strengths when supporting them to complete their subject exams.
For our Year 11’s and Further Education leavers, where appropriate, we support them to achieve Functional Skills in:
English – including Reading, Writing and Speaking & Listening
Maths
Essential Digital Skills (EL3 and L1)
Learners are entered for entry level exams (either EL1, EL2 or EL3) dependent upon their potential. Occasionally, those learners working beyond entry level will be entered for national level 1 or 2 qualifications in the same subjects.
Learners in Key Stage 4 have a range of accreditations and courses available to complete including; Duke of Edinburgh (Bronze or Silver Award), Arts Award, Health and Lifestyle Award (WJEC) and Business and Enterprise (Open Awards).
All learners in the Further Education Department work towards accreditation in a variety of areas, primarily focusing on independence and life skills to lead to employment.
