Students will be able to access a wide range of accredited courses on par with their mainstream school. Our class sizes are very small and we offer a high level of individualised support. This is an advantage in terms of the benefit to vulnerable learners, i.e. those that may have missed parts of their education due to behaviours or absence. Students will study a GCSE curriculum in a range of subjects.

Our curriculum covers subjects that your child would be taught in a mainstream setting. We pride ourselves on having subject specialist teachers delivering high quality teaching and learning to enable your child to make the best progress that they can. This means that if your child may eventually be able to access mainstream school again they can slot back into it without major gaps in learning. We have small classroom learning environments.

Figure of Eight Education's approach to teaching, learning, and pastoral guidance in Key Stage 2 promotes positive growth among our students and nurtures independent, progressive learners. Our educators leverage diverse curriculum experiences, knowledge, and expertise to create lessons that are relevant and tailored to meet the needs of every student, ensuring a seamless transition into secondary education.

We prepare children for the transition from Reception by using familiar teaching methods and resources. In Key Stage 1, we continue the supportive, play-based learning that children enjoyed in Reception, adapting it for six- and seven-year-olds to keep them engaged and support their executive function development.

Figure of Eight Education provides students the chance to study Functional Skills to enhance their practical abilities in English and Mathematics. We offer a comprehensive range of Functional Skills qualifications, from Entry Level 1 to Level 2. Students can choose to focus on either English or Mathematics, or even both.  Furthermore, we offer exam-only options that can be taken in various formats: in-person, either on paper or digitally, as well as virtually.

​ASDAN's programs and qualifications are highly regarded by educators for delivering an engaging curriculum that empowers students through personalized learning and choice. These courses inspire learners by setting short-term goals and consistently acknowledging their achievements. They foster a diverse array of essential skills in young people, including teamwork, problem-solving, communication, self-management, and research abilities. Additionally, students enrolled in ASDAN courses cultivate personal traits such as confidence, self-esteem, resilience, and ambition.

The AQA Unit Award Scheme is invaluable as it is an important pathway for our students to receive accreditation for their achievements. It provides a wide range of units which are differentiated, making accreditation accessible to all pupils regardless of their ability. Furthermore, through allowing amendments and writing our own units, we are able to expand and customise units to our pupil's individual learning interests and needs. The courses offered are designed to encourage and support learners to show them what they can do, rather than what they can't.
