Our Curriculum

Holton Sleaford Independent School (HSIS) is confident that our curriculum offer is an effective route to ensuring that pupils are well prepared for work or further study at the conclusion of their education. At KS4 our offer is specifically designed to focus on the essential elements of a pupils personal development, where Physical and Outdoor Education look after a healthy body, while PSHE and Functional Skills Maths and English take care of pupils essential needs for a capable mind able to access KS5 opportunities with HSIS or another provider. Alongside all of this sits the Duke of Edinburgh Bronze Award, which will provide pupils with the wider social experiences essential to personal development.

While in KS5 our Core Aim is the new Sport and Outdoor Activities BTEC National, allowing pupils to build on their experiences from KS4 and to have the opportunity to access the Duke of Edinburgh Silver Award. In order to ensure that our pupils are as employable as possible and to encourage a clear vision of where they want to be post-education, HSIS will employ a carefully managed work experience programme for our pupils where targeted placements of up to 2 days per week over the duration of their course will give them a solid grounding in the world of work.
