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.
