Westfield Arts College work in partnership with the King’s Trust (formerly Prince’s Trust) to further enhance our Secondary curriculum.
The King’s Trust is a recognised awarding body in England, Wales, Northern Ireland and Scotland, approved by the relevant authorities and regulators to develop and award qualifications. The King’s Trust offers young people the opportunity to achieve a qualification in Personal Development and Employability Skills (PDE) whilst participating in the Achieve programme.
The Achieve Programme promotes a flexible approach, using relevant, experiential learning to support young people to achieve a range of personal and employability skills and gain qualifications. During the programme young people will:
- Develop their own personal growth and engagement in learning
- Engage in learning that is relevant to them and support their development of personal skills and attributes that are essential for employment and working life
- Prepare themselves for progression into further education programmes, apprenticeships or other work-based learning
- Develop their literacy, language and numeracy skills
Any qualifications young people gain can be added to their portfolio of achievements as they move through the school.
