Foundations for Future Assessment and Evidence guide

Foundations for Future – Complete Core Curriculum Bundle

A complete 36-week personalised SEND curriculum framework for preparing young people for adulthood, independence and their next steps. The Foundations for Future Core Curriculum Bundle brings together six comprehensive resources to provide educators with the structure, planning tools, assessment systems and learner documentation needed to create and deliver a genuinely personalised programme for young people with SEND. Foundations for Future has been designed around one central principle: The curriculum should fit the learner — not require the learner to fit the curriculum. Rather than providing a rigid sequence of identical lessons, the programme enables educators to build learning around each young person's aspirations, strengths, interests, EHCP outcomes, communication needs, functional skills and intended adult destination. It is particularly suited to learners who benefit from a highly personalised approach and whose progress may not always be captured effectively through traditional classroom assessment. What's included? 1. Foundations for Future Curriculum Framework – £25 value The foundation of the programme. Provides the curriculum intent, structure and principles underpinning Foundations for Future, bringing together functional English and maths, employability, independent living, personal and social development, community participation and Preparation for Adulthood. 2. Foundations for Future Teaching Toolkit – £25 value The practical guide to delivering the curriculum. Supports tutors to translate curriculum intentions into meaningful learning experiences while adapting teaching for different abilities, communication needs, aspirations and levels of independence. 3. Learner Passport & Personalised Learning Journey – £8 value A learner-centred record that places the young person's voice at the heart of their programme. Includes learner profiles, communication preferences, aspirations, starting points, EHCP outcome mapping, personalised goals, skills passports, learning journey records, reviews and transition planning. 4. Assessment, Evidence & Progress Tracking Toolkit – £10 value A practical system for demonstrating meaningful SEND progress. Includes baseline assessment, small-step targets, observation records, evidence logs, prompt-reduction tracking, generalisation tracking, learner self-assessment, curriculum-strand progress tracking and termly/end-of-year reviews. The toolkit recognises that progress can mean more than completing a task. The task itself may not have changed — but the learner has. 5. 36-Week Generic Scheme of Work – £17 value A complete year-long curriculum sequence organised across six adaptable terms: Knowing Me & Building Foundations → Everyday Independence → My Community & Getting Around → World of Work → Work Ready & Future Ready → My Future, My Next Step All 36 weeks contain learning intentions, suggested learning experiences, embedded English and maths, assessment opportunities, personalisation prompts and tutor reflection. 6. Personalised Curriculum Planning & Tutor Record Pack – £10 value The bridge between the curriculum and everyday delivery. Includes annual and termly curriculum planning, EHCP/outcome mapping, weekly planning, detailed and quick session planners, vocational and community learning planning, functional English and maths embedding, reasonable-adjustment planning, tutor handovers and curriculum reviews. One connected curriculum system The resources have been designed to work together rather than functioning as six unrelated documents. Discover the learner → identify aspirations and starting points → prioritise outcomes → personalise the curriculum → plan meaningful learning → deliver → gather evidence → demonstrate progress → review → adapt → prepare for transition. This allows practitioners to retain a clear curriculum structure while providing very different programmes for learners with very different futures. Suitable for Post-16 SEND • EHCP learners • personalised provision • 1:1 tuition • small-group SEND provision • Preparation for Adulthood • Entry Level learners • alternative provision • life-skills programmes • employability provision • transition programmes • supported-internship preparation The programme can be adapted to different starting points, communication methods and levels of independence. It can also sit alongside appropriate Functional Skills, Entry Level qualifications, Unit Awards or other accredited programmes selected by individual providers. Designed for real SEND practice Foundations for Future recognises progress including: increased independence • reduced prompting • improved communication • greater confidence • functional application of English and maths • development of practical skills • generalisation into new contexts • self-advocacy • employability • community participation • preparation for the learner's next destination The result is a curriculum that asks not simply: “What work has this learner completed?” but: “What can this young person now do, understand or manage that will make a meaningful difference to their adult life?”
