KS4 Qualifications

Qualifications and Accreditation

In KS4 pupils will be working towards completing accredited subjects that are relevant to the progress they are making. Qualifications at Entry level recognise basic knowledge and skills and the ability to apply learning in everyday situations under direct guidance or supervision. At Level 1 and 2 there is a much deeper level of learning and understanding required.

Pupils can progress through the qualification levels as below, depending on ability and subject areas;

Entry Level

Entry Level in the UK is the lowest level in the National Qualifications Framework in England, Wales, and Northern Ireland. Qualifications at this level recognise basic knowledge and skills and the ability to apply learning in everyday situations under direct guidance or supervision. Learning at this level involves building basic knowledge and skills and is not usually geared towards specific occupations. Entry Level qualifications can be taken at three levels (Entry 1, Entry 2 and Entry 3 and are available in a broad range of subjects.) They are targeted at a range of learners including those with learning difficulties. The level after Entry Level in the National Qualifications Framework is Level 1, which is equivalent to GCSE grades D-G.

We currently offer entry levels in the following subjects:

English – Maths – ICT – Home Cooking – PE – Creative Arts – PSHE – Employability – Life Skills
