Asdan
ASDAN is a well-known and respected awarding organisation that provides flexible and engaging qualifications that help young people develop skills for learning, work and life.
In Key Stage 3 pupils will be participating in project based work that will give them a taster of the Asdan course. They will be completing short projects in:
- Sports and Leisure
- Independent Living
- Health and Fitness
- International Links
In Year 10, pupils will be following the CoPE (Certificate in Personal Effectiveness) qualification. This is a substantial and wide-ranging qualification at level 1 and 2. The purpose of CoPe is to enable young people to:
- Develop and demonstrate a range of personal, key and employability skills
- Broaden their experience
- Manage their learning in a variety of real-life contexts
To gain the Certificate of Personal Effectiveness, pupils must:
- Take responsibility for planning, organising and carrying out a number of activities or challenges.
- Develop and provide evidence of working with others, improving own learning and performance and problem solving
- Develop and provide evidence of their skills of research, discussion and presentation
- Produce evidence of their achievements in a portfolio
In Year 11, pupils will follow the AoPE (Award in Personal Effectiveness) qualification. This is a shortened version of the above course.
