Transition Pathway
Our Transition Pathway at Brookfield School is a bespoke Key Stage 4 provision designed to meet the needs of pupils in Years 10 and 11 who join the school following significant disruption, gaps, or changes in their educational journey. Based at our new Transition Pathway facility in Warton, Lytham, our skilled teachers, mentors, and support staff work closely with the students to re-ignite their interest in education and create the building blocks for success after leaving Brookfield. Pupils on this provision often arrive with a history of interrupted learning, reduced school attendance, or limited access to consistent curriculum experiences. The pathway offers a flexible, personalised approach that supports re-engagement, builds confidence, and prepares pupils for successful transition into post-16 education, training, or employment.
Our approach is highly personalised and interest-led, reconnecting students with learning in a way that resonates with them. We recognise that each student has unique strengths and aspirations, and our flexible pathway reflects this.
Key features of our programme include:
- Vocational Study Days: Up to two days a week are dedicated to hands-on learning in subjects chosen by the students, such as construction or catering, delivered in small, supportive groups.
- Core Academic Learning: We ensure continued progress in essential subjects like English and Maths, alongside vital Personal & Social Development (PSD).
- Dedicated Mentoring: Every student is supported by a dedicated mentor who works with a small group of three, building trust and ensuring strong home-school communication.
- Real-World Preparation: The pathway includes valuable work experience and activities focused on preparing for adulthood, such as the Duke of Edinburgh Award.
Our ultimate goal is to provide a responsive and engaging five-day educational experience. By focusing on reconnection, relevance, and readiness, we empower students to rediscover their potential and take confident steps towards a positive future.
