Pathways and Perspectives 2025

AN ENHANCED GCSE PROGRAMME AT ST EDWARD’S

The Middle School Curriculum at St Edward’s has been enhanced by the introduction of rigorous, bespoke, interdisciplinary courses called Pathways and Perspectives. These courses are accredited by the University of Buckingham and are equivalent to GCSEs.

‘Pathways and Perspectives allow our pupils to learn and think differently. GCSEs provide a sound basis for progression to the Sixth Form, but our accredited courses require pupils to innovate, work collaboratively and undertake continuous assessment exactly as they will do at university, within vocational qualifications and in the world of work. Not only that but we can mould content to address

pertinent issues of the day and meet the needs of the pupils in our care, free from the constraints of the exam specification.’ DAVID FLOWER, SUB-WARDEN ACADEMIC

‘Young people need the opportunity to develop the knowledge and the skills they need for future employment through a broad and relevant curriculum that links explicitly to the real world.’ ROBERT HALFON MP, FORMER MINISTER OF STATE, DEPARTMENT FOR EDUCATION
