| KS4 CURRICULUM |
 |
Y9 at Fosse Way School is a pivotal period in students education, where students are beginning to move from a more ‘directed’ and class based approach to learning to a more personalised curriculum offering a range of choices, focusing on independence and the transition to life after school.
Students
- continue to spend a high percentage of their taught time with their class tutor, for the delivery of basic skills i.e. English, Maths
- access a vocational course of their choice alongside KS4 students
- can choose to study a specific course from a range offered, following their personal interest
- can begin their Entry level or GCSE course (as and if appropriate), giving the students three years to complete the course whilst having time to follow related enrichment activities
- will receive their full National Curriculum entitlement through study days focused on Humanities including RE, the Arts plus French and international education
Fosse Way School offers a choice of “learning pathways” at KS4, aimed at personalising the individual learning experience for each student. Decisions regarding the final choice of pathway for each student are arrived at through consultations involving the student, parents and school staff.
