OCR Life and Living Skills Pathway
This is a curriculum for students who engaged in an entry level curriculum through Key Stage 4. This foundation learning qualification is accredited on the Qualifications and Credit Framework (QCF) and is available at Entry Level 1, 2 and 3. It offers a large number of ‘bite-sized’ units across a broad range of skill areas.
This flexible framework provides many opportunities to build a truly personalised learning programme. This course is particularly relevant to students with a ‘spiky profile’ who can achieve certification in different units at different levels.
The curriculum focuses on the skills that will be required in everyday life as students look forward to adulthood. Its core modules include: Environment and Community; Home Management; Communication; ICT; Personal Skills; Numeracy; World of Work.
All students follow accredited courses in the functional skills of maths and English at an appropriate level between Entry Level One and Level One. Students have the opportunity to work towards a number of different awards including Sports Leader’s, Arts Award in Music and John Muir Environmental Studies Award.
