Post 16 at Victoria School has a wide ability range. We have worked hard to ensure students have a choice in the subjects that they would like to learn, matching courses to ability. Past choices have included: Travel and Tourism, iMedia, Enterprise, Food Technology, Business, Health and Social Care, Law, Sociology, Science and Film Studies.

Our core curriculum areas remain as English, Maths and Information and Communication Technology, which are based upon ‘Functional Skills’ programmes. Functional Skills are seen as crucial in enabling individuals to make the most of learning and employment opportunities, as well as being transferable to real-life situations.

Students are given ‘Options’ so that they can choose the areas that they want to learn about as we feel that they are more motivated when given a choice.

We have developed close links with mainstream schools and colleges to further support our students, giving them opportunities to work alongside mainstream students in their studies.

The Post-16 curriculum offers a flexible (1, 2 or 3 year) age appropriate framework for students that will encourage further steps towards maturity and independence, continuing to develop the personal qualities, abilities, interest and confidence that will enable students to continue with their education, training and adult life.
