Our Pathways

Overview of Springboard Pathway

Springboard Pathway: Across key stages 1, 2 and 3, this 12 week curriculum aims to deliver fundamental knowledge and skills in key areas of literacy and numeracy through a 2 day Raedwald Trust placement.  The curriculum is delivered through a Project Based approach and is derived directly from the EYFS profile and the National Curriculum up to the end of Key Stage 3. It is designed as a concentric curriculum where learning is revisited to enable progression and long term knowledge acquisition. Subject programmes of study span from EYFS to Year 9 objectives dependent on the age/stage at admission. Units of learning are led by a driving question posed to pupils. The curriculum is experiential and each unit has a trip, visitor or experience linked to the unit.
