Pathways

Our curriculum is organised into three pathways that enable us to carefully tailor our subject specific learning to our students' needs. 

Personalised Learning

All students' at Kingsweston have their also Personal Learning Outcomes (PLOs). PLOs are the incremental steps towards achieving their short term and long term EHCP outcomes.  Formative assessment is used to regularly monitor progress towards each students' PLOs to ensure each outcome is achievable, yet challenging

 For students in KS4 and Post-16, their PLOs are based on their Preparation for Adulthood outcomes.

We run a cycle of whole school themes that provides broad curriculum coverage, promotes curiosity and creativity, and facilitates enrichment opportunities for our students across all areas of the curriculum.
