Study Programmes

Study Programmes would cover a broad range of levels of provision and take into account students’ prior learning and current assessment. Students will undertake learning at the level above their prior learning wherever possible. Students on full time programmes (those on a study programme of at least 540 planned hours if age 16 to 17 or at least 450 hours if age 18) and possessing a GCSE ‘D’ or Level 2 Functional Skills qualification in English and/or Maths work towards a relevant GCSE qualification. Students completing programmes of less than 150 planned hours are not required to have English and/or Maths as part of their programme.
Progression & Benefits

Study programmes would support and develop students’ employability and maximise their opportunities for progression. In many cases this will be in the context of a vocational area/sector. For all students, but particularly for those who are vocationally unsure or require additional support and guidance a robust schedule of information, advice and guidance will be provided for students programmes with particular focus on key transition points such as entry to programme, induction, agreeing learning plan, ongoing reviews and progression planning.
