Pupils at Grove House are prepared for the next stage in their education and employment throughout the Upper School Curriculum and through specific units of work during Key Stage 4.  The KS5 curriculum offer has an emphasis on Employability and Work Skills and vocational areas are explored through our developing Enterprise and Vocational Centre – The Grove.

Pupils are supported across KS4 and 5 through meetings and discussions with a Preparing for Adulthood Advisor where local colleges, education and training opportunities are explored. Accreditation and careers events are also offered so that young people are able to consider the local options and provision available and suited to them and their next stage.
