KS3 Subject Intent
The Outdoor Learning programme develops well-rounded, confident, responsible students who strive to do their best. Through the outdoor environment, students aspire to achieve their full potential across all areas of study. Progressive activities enable students to develop their self-confidence, skills, independence, sense of responsibility and aspiration in an environment of social interaction and teamwork. The school values (aspiration, excellence, respect and opportunity) and RESPECT, an ethos underpinning the content and delivery across the programme are integral to the successes accomplished by the students.
The full content of the curriculum is flexible and determined by the needs of the students in the year and class.
KS4 Subject Intent
Following on from the Key Stage 3 curriculum, students through the Endeavour Pathway further develop their outdoor learning knowledge and skills, with an emphasis on leadership and responsibility. Across the remaining years students learn the skills required for leadership, how to be leaders and look at opportunities to put their leadership into action. They become reflective practitioners and develop resilience and perseverance that is reflected in other areas of their study.
Students have a say in their studies, choosing areas of learning, courses, qualifications that interest them. ASDAN Short Courses are included in this range and are flexible, portfolio-based programmes designed to credit hours of activity and skills development across a range of topics and curriculum areas.
