6th Form Curriculum
At Harlow Fields School and College, our Sixth Form curriculum is designed to build upon the strong foundation established in the Lower and Upper School. We are committed to preparing our pupils and young people for the next stages of their lives, whether that be further education, training, or entering the world of work.
- Transition Focus: Our curriculum ensures a smooth transition from Upper School to Sixth Form, reinforcing the skills and knowledge that pupils have already acquired.
- Life Skills Development: We prioritise equipping our pupils with essential life skills that will enable them to thrive in their future endeavours. This includes practical skills, social skills, and an understanding of workplace expectations.
- Personalised Learning: Recognising that each pupil has unique strengths and needs, our curriculum is tailored to support individual learning pathways. This personalised approach helps to maximise engagement and achievement.
We offer:
- Work Experience Opportunities: We provide our pupils with real-world experiences through work placements and internships, allowing them to apply their learning in practical settings and gain valuable insights into various career paths.
- Vocational and Academic Options: Our Sixth Form offers a range of vocational courses alongside academic subjects, ensuring that pupils can choose pathways that align with their interests and career aspirations.
- Therapeutic and Supportive Environment: We embed therapeutic thinking practises throughout our curriculum, fostering a supportive atmosphere that promotes well-being and resilience among our pupils.
This supports our pupils in:
- Preparation for Adulthood: By the end of their time in the Sixth Form, pupils will have developed the skills, knowledge, and confidence necessary to navigate adulthood successfully, whether that be through further education or entering the workforce.
- Cultural Capital: We aim to enhance our pupils' cultural capital by exposing them to a variety of experiences and perspectives, enriching their understanding of the world around them.
At Harlow Fields School and College, we believe that our Sixth Form curriculum is not just about academic success; it is about preparing our pupils for a fulfilling and successful life beyond school. Together, we work towards ensuring that every pupil leaves us equipped to succeed in whatever path they choose.
