The Key Stage 4 Curriculum has been developed within the framework of Springfield School’s Vision, Values and Aims. We aim to ensure that pupils are ready for leaving school, transition to further education, work and life as young adults. Through each area of the curriculum we aim to teach them:
- to achieve as high a degree of independence as possible
- to acquire, develop, practice, apply and extend their skills and understanding
- to develop personal interests and capabilities
The Key Stage 4 Curriculum is delivered at our secondary school site, by using community facilities and through links with Abingdon and Witney College. The pupils are able to learn new skills, develop existing skills and also further understanding of previously learnt skills and knowledge in real life situations. We place particular emphasis on Personal, social, health and citizenship education in order to prepare pupils for life as young adults and to engender as much independence as possible.
