Pathfinder curriculum intent and purpose

Pathfinder curriculum/Year 7 and 8 is one that ensures a comprehensive and universal learning approach, nurture-based and inclusive to cater for academic achievement as well as personal growth.

The curriculum is meant to instil independent thought, confidence and resilience in students. The curriculum aims to bridge any gaps, identify the fundamental key learning points missing in their individual learning and enable the appropriate SEN-based needs and support. The curriculum will also prepare them for further education and life outside school. 

The curriculum caters for the development of skills in literacy and numeracy coupled with their applications, as well as emotional wellbeing, self-regulation and social skills via PSHE and other interventions.

The curriculum also facilitates executive functioning, employability and independence in students so that they can lead safe and productive lives.
