Our curriculum is planned around the needs of our learners. In order to facilitate the best outcomes for students our school is organized in 3 broad pathways
Students in Yellow Pathway have profound
and multiple learning difficulties and complex
needs, and some children have autism.
These children are mostly class based and will always need lots of
support from adults
Students in Blue Pathway have a severe
learning difficulties, they focus on learning basic
and functional skills. Some of these children
may eventually live independently or with
support and may access supported or sheltered
employment
Students in Red Pathway have a moderate
learning difficulty. Students focus on developing more
academic skills and employability skills. Most students will
access work related learning. They may live independently and get
employment.
Students who have autism will be in all pathways

Measuring and Recording Progress
A Catcote we use different methods to collect information about students’ progress. Student progress is monitored very closely.In Key Stage 3 we use nationally recognized criteria called Plevels and School Year Expectations . We record electronically and compare with national data.In Key Stage 4 we continue to use the same measures as well as some accreditation leading to qualifications.In 6th form students do accreditation and qualifications and progress is measured using either the ‘achievement continuum’ or the qualification assessment criteria.
