Preparation for Adulthood / My Future
Here at Fiveways School we focus on Preparation for Adulthood from the earliest year groups, developing the skills that our young people will need to live a good adult life as they progress through the school. We realise that every one of our young people needs an individualised approach to prepare for adulthood and we offer a bespoke curriculum for every pupil which is appropriately linked to a national careers strategy and includes; encounters with employers and employees, experiences of workplaces, encounters with further education provision, personal guidance for our young people and advice for parents, informed by current career and labour market information.
