KS4 Progress Pathway
KS4 Progress Pathway is our half-day, 12-week programme for KS4 students who need a different route that still leads somewhere meaningful. Students attend either mornings or afternoons for a focused block of learning, working towards Functional Skills English and Maths in a small-group setting with clear goals, consistent support, and a strong emphasis on confidence and re-engagement. Alongside qualifications, each session includes an active element — football, boxing or dance — to build routine, motivation and wellbeing.
It’s a practical, structured option designed to prevent NEET outcomes and help borderline C/D learners secure the passes they need to access apprenticeships and positive post-16 pathways, and it’s also ideal for small-group EBSA, SEMH and SEND cohorts who benefit from a calmer setting, predictable routines, and relationship-led support. Places are also available for home-educated students who want a structured programme, recognised qualifications, and a supportive environment that helps them prepare for their next steps.
6th Day Provision
Our Sixth Day Provision offer helps schools meet their duty to provide education from the sixth day of a fixed-term or permanent exclusion, without the stress and delays. We put a simple agreement in place up front so referrals can move quickly, and KRS supports you through the process from first call to start date. We can provide up to three days per week (within the five-day requirement), delivering a structured mix of intervention work to help the young person make sense of what’s happened, rebuild routines, and re-engage with learning. Alongside targeted English and Maths, students access purposeful activities to support wellbeing, motivation and behaviour. You’ll receive a clear report back to school covering attendance, engagement, progress, and recommended next steps.
NCFE Functional Skills
NCFE Functional Skills in English and Maths gives learners a clear, recognised route to real progress — whether they’re rebuilding confidence, catching up, or getting ready for what comes next. At KRS, we offer Functional Skills to all students attending our Alternative Provision, as part of a structured plan with consistent support and clear goals. It’s also at the heart of our KS4 Progress Pathway 12-week programme, helping young people secure the qualifications that open doors to apprenticeships, training, and positive post-16 destinations. And it’s not just for school-age learners — our adult Functional Skills classes provide a supportive, practical way to strengthen everyday skills, improve employability, and take the next step with confidence. If you’re exploring Functional Skills for a student, a small group, or yourself, we’d love to hear from you — enquiries are always welcome.
Therapies & Interventions
Our trauma informed support and therapeutic interventions are built around trust, relationships, and giving young people practical tools they can use every day to live, grow and thrive. We support KS1–KS4 learners with SEMH, bereavement, anxiety and emotional regulation through a mix of Art Therapy, Play Therapy and Sport Therapy — and sometimes it’s as simple as sitting down for a chat and a cup of coffee in a calm, safe space. A real strength of ours is supporting EBSA students, helping them rebuild confidence, re-establish routines, and take steady steps back into education at a pace that feels manageable. All students attending our AP have access to this support, and we also offer sessions privately, in school, or at our setting, depending on what works best for the young person and the family. Alongside therapy, we deliver targeted interventions including anger management, social skills, self-esteem, body confidence and anxiety support, helping each learner make sense of what’s happening and take positive steps forward. If you’re not sure what type of support is right, drop us a line and we’ll talk it through.
