Will Snowfields Pathfinder provide A-Level and Level 3 qualifications?
Answer: No, Pathfinder will equip students with Level 2 qualifications which prepare students to leave our provision and enter employment or further training. If a student achieves their Level 2 or equivalent (GCSE 4) in English and Maths, they should consider moving to a provision that will provide them with the next steps on their educational journey.
Will my child have the opportunity to visit Post 16 provisions?
Answer: Yes, we will support students through planned trips to see Post 16 provisions. However, we recommend that as a family, you also visit appropriate colleges so that you can support your child in making the correct decision for their next steps.
What if my child achieves their Level 2 qualifications in English and Maths but they are not ready to move onto another provision?
Answer: We will look at each student on a case by case basis. If your child has achieved their Level 2s in English/Maths and a more suitable placement can offer the relevant next steps, we will work with you to manage a transition to another provision.
However, if we agree that a student is best placed in Pathfinder, then we will provide a functional application curriculum for English and Maths during those lessons.
What routes are available to my child once they leave Snowfield Pathfinder?
Answer: During their time in Pathfinder, students will be preparing for their next steps.
Students could be looking at:
Further study - moving onto a college to access specialised Level 3 qualifications
Apprenticeships - where appropriate we will support students in finding apprenticeships in their local community and preparing them for entering the workforce.
Entering the workforce - where students have achieved a Level 2 qualification, they may feel ready to enter into paid employment. We will support students in writing their CV, applying for jobs and preparing for interviews.
Our aim is that all students move onto an appropriate pathway for their future aspirations.
