Pensnett Site – Post 14
Our, Pensnett site has four classes; Oak, Elm, Maple and Birch.
Students in Oak class currently form part of our Upper phase and follow their appropriate pathway planning on Monday-Wednesday before joining students at Pensnett for Work Related Learning and Preparation for Adulthood opportunities.
All students at Pensnett site have a keyworker; a member of their form team, who is the main point of contact for parents. Students also have support from therapists, school health, educational psychology, social care and the family support team as and when required.
The core curriculum in Post 14 ensures all students have broad, balanced, relevant and challenging opportunities. This is delivered through personalised pathways leading to accredited OCR courses in KS5. At Pensnett, pupils join different learning groups dependent on their learning pathway, year group and subject focus.
We have excellent facilities for developing catering and hospitality skills, office skills or outdoor learning such as horticulture and forest school. This supports students by providing relevant work-related learning opportunities, alongside external work-related learning opportunities.
Students also have opportunities to undertake farm visits, swimming, college links, sports studies in the sports hall, creative arts and community visits linked to their learning outcomes.
Once a student starts at Pensnett, we work with a wide range of providers and support networks to ensure our students have the best possible opportunities for moving on positively after school. These include designated transition staff within school, the family outreach team, connexions, social care, health professionals, colleges, local businesses, and the voluntary sector and youth services.
