Overview

Practical work gives V.A.S.E Academy a clear educational identity. The mixed setting serves pupils through the senior and post-16 years, with a non-selective route for young people with special educational needs and individual admissions considered through local council SEND consultation.

Academic, social, emotional and practical development are brought together through core learning and enhanced activities. Animal care, outdoor adventure, gardening and environmental projects give pupils regular opportunities to work outdoors and with animals. The curriculum extends beyond classroom study without losing its academic strand.

The post-16 pathway includes animal care, horticulture, BTEC Introductory Sport and mechanics at vocational levels, alongside English and mathematics, employability work and an AQA Project. Off-site placements or school-based work experience can be part of the programme, with careers planning shaped around individual needs.

V.A.S.E. combines SEND provision, academic study and vocational preparation for further education, training or work. Its Birmingham setting at Park House on Park Lane gives that programme a practical base, where outdoor activity, technical subjects and supported next steps sit together.
