Curriculum
At SGS Create, we offer a variety of educational opportunities to our learners. Our curriculum allows our learners to study GCSEs in English Language, Maths, and Double Award Science.
SGS Create fulfils a crucial role by providing 14-16 year olds who struggle in mainstream schooling with access to outstanding facilities and a supportive learning environment. This ensures they can excel and enjoy their education to the fullest.
Academic Programme
SGS Create’s core curriculum comprises mandatory qualifications, including Level 2 GCSEs in English Language (Pearson Edexcel), Maths higher & foundation (AQA) and the Science Trilogy Award (AQA). For some students an alternative Functional Skills pathway is offered in both English and Maths. The pathways are determined by assessments at the start of the year. Parents can find links to textbooks and revision guides on the websites above for each exam board, search Amazon, or use the College Library.
Vocational Specialism
Alongside their core academic courses, learners can choose a vocational qualification. Current options include a Level 1 Diploma in either Art & Design, Games Design (UAL), Level 1 Diploma in Music Performing and Production Arts (UAL) or Level 1/2 Animal Care BTEC First Award (Pearson BTEC) Please note, these options may vary for each Year 10 intake and will be confirmed during the application process.
Extra Curriculum
Our PSHE and RSE curriculum covers all statutory requirements and plays a central role in our learners’ pastoral education, alongside our wider enrichment offer which includes Life Skills, Life & Culture and activities sessions. Parents, carers and families receive regular updates on PSHE learning. We further enhance the curriculum through external speakers and partner organisations, alongside 1:1 careers advice, work experience support and guidance to prepare learners for further education and employment. Learners also take part in PE delivered at the local leisure centre. Daily 15-minute tutor sessions provide structured check-ins and support planning for success.
