Ingfield Manor School

Within our Sixth Form, the Conductive Education framework underpins everything we do. We support students to raise their aspirations, develop the skills needed for adult life, and optimise their future opportunities. Our aim is to help every student become as independent as possible in the areas of:

• Communication
• Physical skills and ability
• Cognition
• Emotional and mental wellbeing

Our person-centred approach identifies what is important to each young person, enabling personalised learning and support programmes to be developed. Emphasis is placed on applying and strengthening the functional skills learned in earlier key stages. Each student follows a bespoke curriculum, designed to help them progress to their full potential.

Alongside preparing for adulthood, students are able to build upon existing qualifications and work towards higher levels, or explore new programmes of study. Options include:

• GCSEs and Entry Level Certificates in English and Maths
• City & Guilds Entry Level Award and Certificate in Effective Augmentative and Alternative Communication
• WJEC Entry Pathways in Independent Living, Humanities, ICT, and Science
• Open Awards Accessible ICT
• WJEC Personal Progress qualification (for students following our sensory curriculum)

In addition, Sixth Form students have the opportunity to connect with and care for the natural world through the John Muir Award. This structured yet adaptable scheme encourages awareness, responsibility, and a spirit of fun, adventure, and exploration in wild places.
