Functional Skills (LevelS 1 & 2)
The Post-16 Functional Skills curriculum aims to ensure that pupils have the necessary literacy skills for further education, apprenticeships and the workplace. There is a strong focus on building oracy skills through discussion, debate and presentations. In reading, pupils learn to use their knowledge of text types and their decoding skills to retrieve and evaluate information efficiently and accurately. In writing, pupils develop greater stamina and structure as they learn to write a wider range of nonfiction texts. The course also develops creative writing and inference skills through a literature study in the Summer Term.
