The timetable at Woolston 6th Form has been developed to provide a broad and balanced curriculum offer, based within the Preparation for Adulthood Framework, inline with Warrington Authority’s Local Offer.
The aim of our curriculum is to provide our students with the knowledge, skills and understanding they need to live as independently as appropriate, making informed choices and able to ensure their voice is heard, through their chosen method of communication.
Lessons cover a variety of topics enhancing student learning in: Preparation for Adulthood (PfA), Creative ARTS, Fitness & Wellbeing, Personal Development (PD), Careers and Vocational opportunities, alongside maths and English, taught in a functional way. Students are taught independent living and employability skills, in line with their bespoke pathway objectives, supporting them to fulfil their potential. Several lessons are directed by student voice/ choice, with taster sessions of a subject being accessed prior to the student making a choice which subject learning they would like to pursue for the rest of the year/ term. An example of this is in the summer term, when our students vote on which Vocational subjects they would like college to offer for the next academic year.
Social interaction and communication skills are enhanced utilising a functional, cross- curricular approach and by accessing opportunities to explore the local community. Students are appropriately supported and challenged to develop skills such as: independent travel, accessing the local services for health and leisure, and undertaking work experience opportunities.
