Curriculum
Wize Up provides full and part time education to students at KS3 – KS4 from the boroughs of Bexley, Bromley, Greenwich and Lewisham. Our curriculum is aimed at reaching students who are not currently in mainstream education for part or the remainder of their school career.
For those who are out of mainstream education for a period only, our aim is to ensure they are reintegrated with the tools to succeed in their next placement, be it returning to school or another school. These placements are referred to as our short term placements, the curriculum is slightly different to those who are placed long term and completing their mainstream education at Wize Up. The curriculum for short term placements includes English and Maths in addition to our Princes Trust program. The Princes Trust curriculum is offered as a cross curricular subject which includes elements of Science, Technology, Geography and Independent Living to name a few.
Young people who attend on long term placements (including those at KS4 on short term placements) have access to the full curriculum which is supported by a therapeutic approach focusing on ensuring emotional, social, academic or physical needs are met. This forms the foundation of the skills tool box, which supports the next step into further education or employment for our young people.
