At Ellesmere we believe in all our students being able to reach their academic potential and demonstrating their achievements through national accreditation at an appropriate level.
Students in our Thrive pathway start working towards their Gateway Certificates in English and Maths whilst in Key Stage 4, continuing this into Post 16. They also work towards the Duke of Edinburgh Bronze Award and, once in Post 16, Gateway qualifications in Employability.
Students in our Flourish pathway work towards ASDAN Life Skill Challenges across Key Stage 4 and Post 16, building up a portfolio of challenges related to English, Maths and Preparation for Adulthood skills.
Students in our Shine and Sparkle pathways work towards ASDAN Transitions Challenge and ASDAN Towards Independence.
Our accreditation pathways document shows the accreditations students in each of our academic pathways can expect to study on their journey through Key Stage Four and Post 16.
