At Outwood Post 16 Doncaster we continue to mature and prosper bringing students an excellent experience whilst driving academic achievement through the outstanding support, care and guidance we extend to all students. We understand the importance of the time young people spend with us knowing that it will help shape the rest of their lives. That is why our vision of ‘Students First; raising standards and transforming lives.’ will always be a guiding light in all that we do. Regardless of background we will strive to provide students with the knowledge, skills and qualifications to make informed and developed choices by the time they leave us.
As students are completing Year 11 we will work with them to give them information and advice to help them to select the correct personalised pathway. That support will continue during transition, we have dedicated learning managers at both sites; exceptional staff who care deeply about all young people and will support the well-being and pastoral needs during a period of significant change in the lives of young people. This support is extended through guidance groups (similar to form groups) where students will discuss and consider future options through extra curricular experiences and activities that will complement their academic studies. We will endeavour to help our students to take responsibility for their ambitions and begin to realise their long term goals.
We will work with students to instil confidence through developing their academic independence as we report back to them regularly on how they are doing and more crucially what they would need to do to improve and progress further. We are fully inclusive and focus on each student as an individual, tailoring what we do specifically to their unique aspirations, strengths and needs. We are confident in what we offer and know that we can support and improve the life chances of young people.
