Curriculum Pathways

Students are placed onto different pathways based on identified, aspirational outcomes for adulthood.

The four different pathways are:

Pathway 1 – Supported Living, Residential College, Day Services

Pathway 2 – Life Skills, Life Enriching Activity, Work Skills, Specialist College

Pathway 3 – FE College, Supported Employment, Traineeship

Pathway 4 – Employment, Apprenticeship, FE College

The Four Curriculum Pathways

Pathways in Foundations for the Future are vertically grouped to provide stronger peer support and meaningful learning opportunities.

Pathway Weightings 

The four pathways can be broken down into four key areas: Independent Living, Health, Community Inclusion, and Employment Pathway 1 has a greater emphasis on Independent Living, Health, and Community Inclusion. Pathway 2 has a roughly equal spread across all four areas. Pathway 3 has a greater emphasis on Independent Living, Employment, and Community Inclusion. Pathway 4 has a greater emphasis on Employment and Independent Living.

As the approach adopted is based on personalisation and delivering a curriculum that will deliver the identified outcomes, we recognise that students on each pathway will need something different as their outcomes are different!

To support this approach, Foundations for the Future ensures that each strand of the curriculum is weighted in pathways differently.

For example: A student on Pathway 4, whose outcome is full-time paid employment, will require a larger volume of learning hours during the two years than a student on Pathway 1, whose outcome is to be supported by social care, accessing life enrichment activities.
