Qualifications

Kemball School offers nationally recognised qualifications for pupils to work toward.  Appropriate courses will be matched to a pupils’ academic ability.

Entry Level Certificate – An Entry Level is a level of qualification for students working below a GCSE level of grade G.  They are awarded as 3 levels; Entry Level 1, Entry Level 2 and Entry Level 3.  It is expected that students working higher than Entry Level 3 would be working towards appropriate GCSE’s.

ASDAN Curriculum

Asdan is an awarding body which provides a recognised qualification in skills towards learning, employment and life skills.  As a result, students do not ‘sit’ examinations as such, but progress is measured through achieving the required learning outcomes.  Currently Kemball offers  ASDAN qualifications:

Personal Progress – this is followed by students working on Progression steps.  It is made up of units in the following areas: English, maths, ICT, Independent Living Skills, Personal Development, Community Participation and Preparation for Work.

Personal Social Development – This is followed by pupils working towards Entry Level qualifications.  It is made up of units in the following areas: Personal, Social, Health and Citizenship education, ICT, Independent Skills and Work Related Learning.

Asdan short courses – these are options chosen by the students within the functional pathway

As a result, each student will be following a personalised programme based on their need and level.

Multisensory Towards Adulthood

Kemball School offers a Post 16 pathway for students who have profound and multiple learning needs, including complex physical and medical requirements. Students typically continue their journey from our multisensory pathway. We currently have two classes with students beginning their journey into adulthood from the age of 14.  Our Multisensory towards adulthood classes aim to give young people the skills to lead meaningful adult lives.  Carefully thought out planning provides opportunities for learners to take ownership of their learning and have a 'voice' when moving into the adult world.
