Unit Awards
The principle of the Unit Awards is to provide short, skill based learning opportunities, where progress and achievement is quickly recognised. The Specialist VI Curriculum for students with a vision impairment is critical for our learners. Their achievement can be recognised with Unit Awards. The examining board AQA, provides a bespoke programme enabling achievement for all and a wide range of skills to be recognised. Unit Awards focus on what the learner can do and what skills they can demonstrate, building motivation and confidence.
