The complete journey to adulthood — Year 7 to Year 14
Three professional framework documents for educators — KS3, KS4 and Post-16 — for young people aged 11–19 working significantly below age-related expectations. Built on the statutory Engagement Model and the four Preparation for Adulthood outcomes, written in the evidence language Ofsted, EHCP reviews and transition planning expect.
KS3 Sensory Curriculum Framework
Years 7–9 · ages 11–14 · July 2026 edition
Foundations and first experiences of adulthood. The statutory Engagement Model integrated with the four Preparation for Adulthood outcomes, delivered through genuinely teenage contexts — music, cafés, gaming, the food technology room — never recycled primary content.
What's inside
- All four PfA outcome areas — Employment, Independent Living, Community Inclusion and Health — plus the Engagement Model strand
- Emerging / Developing / Established stage descriptors for every strand
- Exploration and tolerance first: new environments, new adults, new routines with high support
- Age-appropriate themes, materials and vocabulary throughout
- Evidence language ready for EHCP annual reviews and transition planning
KS4 Sensory Curriculum Framework
Years 10–11 · ages 14–16 · July 2026 edition
Real-world application and transition. Consolidation and generalisation in genuine settings — real shops, real buses, real workplaces — with support systematically reduced, work experience built in, and explicit preparation for the Post-16 destination.
What's inside
- The same four PfA outcomes moved into active preparation — applied, generalised, made real
- Systematic independence: planned reduction of support across the two years
- Work experience and community participation frameworks
- Post-16 transition planning woven through every strand
- Emerging / Developing / Established descriptors for observable, recordable progress
Post-16 Sensory Curriculum Framework
Years 12–14 · ages 16–19 · July 2026 edition
Adult life, now. The young person is an adult — activities aren't rehearsal for adult life, they ARE adult life. Adult identity, maximum independence, genuine adult contexts, student-led planning, and the transition into adult services.
What's inside
- Preparation for Adulthood as the entire purpose of the curriculum
- Real adult contexts — college, workplaces, supported living, adult leisure — not simulation
- Student voice central: student-led planning and self-evaluation built in
- Transition to adult services: building routines, networks and support systems that endure beyond education
- Links to accreditation and evidence for transition reviews
