West SILC’s Curriculum follows 3 discrete pathways:
These pathways are not rigid and some pupils who excel may move to a different pathway during their time in our school. Each pathway has a balance of personalised learning (based on EHCP outcomes - red blocks) and subject specific learning (for those who can access - yellow blocks).The balance of each of these strands varies according to which pathway your child follows. The more formal the pathway, the greater the percentage of subject specific learning. The following image represents the different pathways and the balance of time given to different subjects / areas of learning.
