Within our delivery of ASDAN at Silverwood, we strive to engage all post-14 pupils through relevant and motivating courses. This enables them to achieve meaningful learning outcomes and lifeskills which can elevate them to go on to having a more autonomous life as well as opportunities for further education, training and work. We aim to empower them through their preparing for adulthood journey by delivering diverse, enriching and individualised programmes. Our ambition is that our young people should have the opportunity to discover, develop and make use of their abilities to affirm their identities, contribute to society, and challenge educational and social inequalities through progressive ASDAN accreditation and qualification pathways.
At Silverwood, we believe that all pupils can celebrate success and achievement by following a flexible and inclusive pathway throughout KS4 that aligns with our school values. The pathway chosen for each pupil is at a level that is appropriate, engaging and motivational and encourages students to develop a love of learning combined with skills for success in the wider community. WJEC Entry Pathways Personal Progress allows pupils to develop their independent skills, knowledge and self-awareness by following an accessible regulated route that offers the widest possible range of quality-assured learner achievements. The qualification and framework is accessible to the all students who follow this pathway at three different levels – award, certificate or diploma. The learner’s needs are extended beyond the outcomes covered in the Personal Progress units and pupils will receive the same aspirational opportunities, learning themes, outcomes and high-quality teaching as their KS4 peers as highlighted in The Silverwood Way.
