Year 9 & 10 ASDAN
Personal and Social Development
A very small number of students require a more bespoke curriculum at Key Stage 4 and for these students we offer the ASDAN Personal and Social Development Programme at Level 1. The SENDCo, working in collaboration with the Head of Learning and parents, will identify students who may require this adaption to their Option Pathway. The course is run by a qualified Learning Support Assistant.
Assessment
The course is credit based and learners are assessed at the end of every module to ensure their work meets the required learning objectives. They are required to earn 8 credits to pass the course and earn their Level 1 Award, some students may progress onto Level 2. Each module is internally moderated and once the course is complete, students work will be externally moderated by ASDAN for quality control.
