Qualifications
Running Deer School offers a suite of qualifications which are matched to each individual students’ needs.
Running Deer School's suite of qualifications range from traditional GCSE and Entry Level qualifications in English, Maths, and other subjects, to vocational and technical awards and qualifications.
Running Deer School is really pleased to be an approved centre for ASDAN, Gateway Qualifications and Open Awards. This is a really important step for us, as it increases the opportunities for our young people to leave us with a range of qualifications which reflect their interests and goals. Through these awarding bodies, we can offer qualifications and awards in land management, animal care, work-related learning, and Functional Skills in Maths and English (for students who need an alternative to GCSE).
All students at Running Deer follow ASDAN programmes in each Key Stage, culminating in either the Award of Personal Effectiveness (AoPE) or Certificate of Personal Effectiveness (CoPE) in Key Stage 4. ASDAN CoPE comprises modules across different areas of the curriculum, life skills, and work-related learning, can be taken at Level 1 or Level 2, and is equivalent to a GCSE.
