'Future Routes'
Post-16 programme of learning
Future Routes is an innovative student centred programme of support for students in Year 12 and 13.
Preparing for Adulthood
Future Routes is an innovative bridge between specialist education and taking steps towards independence, employment, better health and being part of a community.
Future Routes gives every student a unique and bespoke curriculum and development plan based on their individual strengths and areas to develop.
Every student is an individual and so to is their pathway into adulthood. Future Routes focuses on employability, independence, better health and being part of a community.
Through the programme students can attend a Sixth Form college with individual and bespoke support through the school to build their independence step by step at the pace that's right for them while preparing for the challenges and rewards of adulthood.
Specialist support
Employability
Students will access independent careers guidance and individual supported work experience, all whilst building the skills needed to take control of their future careers. Students all have individual employability programmes and study for and take part in work experience with a plan that is unique to them and their strengths and areas to develop.
​
Better Health
Having good health gives students the ability to be independent, increase employability and be part of their community.
Students have supported access to a range of leisure, fitness and wellbeing opportunities whilst continually growing their indpendence through their individual and unique plans.
​
Community Activities
Future Routes gives students the ability to access their community with the support that is right for them. Community access is vital for positive adulthood experiences. The course gives students the opportunity to find and access their community with ever growing independence.
​
Independence
Every student develops their independence at a speed which is right for them. The course structures independence as an ever growing positive. Through travel training, careers guidance, accessing college and learning independent living skills (from managing money to cooking meals to cleaning clothes) students take steps, and sometimes leaps, towards being prepared for adulthood.
