Academic Focus

Mathematics and English  

At Stepping Stones Alternative Provision, our programme is designed to complement and enhance our pupils’ existing curriculum and timetable. We recognise that many young people benefit from positive reinforcement, particularly in Mathematics and English. A significant challenge for many of our students is developing the confidence to engage with their learning. 

To support this, we offer ASDAN and AQA awards, which not only align with their current studies but also enrich their educational experience by fostering a sense of achievement. This, alongside their existing curriculum, helps instil self-belief, reduce the fear of failure, and boost confidence. 

Our AQA Awards provide students with immediate recognition for their efforts, while our ASDAN Awards enable them to build a learning portfolio, showcasing their hard work and earning credits along the way. ASDAN English and Mathematics Awards offer opportunities to develop and understand some of the main topics involved with students GCSE Mathematics, English Language and Literature whilst promoting the application of these key attributes required to be successful within these areas.  

Sports Related Awards 

At Stepping Stones, we tailor our courses to suit our learners, enhancing both engagement and enjoyment. We offer a wide range of sports-related courses and awards, including Sports Leadership, Football, and Dodgeball.  Our sports programme is continuously evolving as we support young people in achieving new awards and qualifications. 

Our aim is to lay the foundations for our young people’s futures by helping them gain recognised qualifications while fostering a passion for sports in which they can thrive. 

In addition, we offer AQA Awards in related areas, providing quick, positive reinforcement that boosts self-esteem and confidence, further enhancing engagement.
