Progression for students through the Academy is via Pre-Formal, Semi-Formal or Formal pathways to meet their diverse needs and aspirations. The Preparing for Adulthood (PfA) framework is being used to reform our curriculum and includes outstanding provision in preparing young people for employment and their futures.
