Levels

We support students to further develop their Maths skills based on their prior learning and diagnostic assessment results. This ranges from entry 1 through to Level 2 courses across our student pathways. Each level and student pathway is tailored based on the individual student's needs. We further embed Maths throughout our vocational curriculum to help to contextualise and to consolidate learning to date. Maths lessons are fun and use a range of strategies such as gamification to engage students to learn and use maths.

Key Skill Development

Personal Development

Provides students with key skills needed to thrive both now and in their future. Students benefit from the Personal Development Curriculum to support them in Preparing for Adulthood with focussed sessions exploring three key areas: Myself, Community and Independence.

Interventions

These are worked on daily to support student achievement. Interventions support students identified needs, from their Education and Health Care plans and initial assessments. All students aims are broken down into managable small targets in collaboration with the student and regularly reviewed.

Enrichment

Supports students in expanding their horizons by providing opportunities to engage in on site and community outings. This is as well as hosting guest speakers to discuss local community opportunities and connections to local services, thus facilitating exploration of talents and interests.

Pathways

At Craftworks College, we are aware that all our students progress at their own rate therefore our pathways adopt the waves model of intervention to enable all students to succeed from their individual starting points. Students capable of achieving a full qualification follow the Universal Pathway. Student that need their learning broken into smaller steps follow the Targeted Pathway, here they focus on one unit at a time and achieve Unit Accreditation. Students that require our Specialist Pathway have a bespoke timetable which breaks learning down into even smaller steps to ensure that they are able to achieve at their own specific level.
