Key Stage 5 has a specific learning programme with areas of learning which focus on Preparation for Adulthood.
The Sixth Form – KS 5 provision at LHS is specifically designed for young people aged 16-19 with severe learning difficulties, complex needs or ASD-type conditions who need further work on their life-skills before moving onto college or other provisions.
Our curriculum focuses on a wide range of life-skills to help young people live as independent and fulfilled lives as possible, relative to their individual starting points.
The KS5 Curriculum has the following areas of learning which feature in the CD Wheel curriculum and assessment system created specifically for LHS:
We currently follow Entry level ASDAN programmes to ensure our students achieve nationally recognised qualifications.
Community learning is an important part of our life-skills programme and we aim to take students out regularly into the local area, usually by public transport. All students take part in work-related learning including regular work tasters.
Students will usually be taught in small classes of approximately six to ten students and supported by skilled Learning Support Assistants. Each class has a class teacher and also has access to subject specific teachers as appropriate.
The KS5 provision at LHS is currently housed in two blocks including well-equipped and spacious classrooms, two teaching kitchens, access to a bedroom suite for the teaching of home-management, access to outdoor areas including outdoor gym, adventure playground and horticulture area.
The Sixth Form building is modern and accessible with a lift and disabled toilet (including hoist equipment). Students have access to the LHS sports hall, Music and Art rooms. There is an increased focus in Preparation for Adulthood through CAREERS and World of Work (WOW).
