Senior School Curriculum

Abingdon House Senior School is proud of the rich, broad and balanced curriculum that we offer our students. Our holistic curriculum is ambitious in making sure students are able to acquire all of the necessary skills and knowledge in order to make their own meaningful next step.

Our curriculum is supplemented by our intent to integrate therapeutic learning of independent life and social skills.

We offer 2 qualification streams in our upper senior school according to the needs of each individual student, these are our Theta and Sigma Pathways.

These pathways offer a range of qualifications and learning experiences in order to prepare students for their next stages in life. As a result, we are able to offer a range of core and vocational subjects with qualifications from ASDAN and Functional Skills through to Level 2 BTEC and GCSEs in English and Maths.
