Key Stage 4 – Alternative Pathway
For a number of our pupils, Moorside works with colleges and external providers to offer vocational courses for the following subject areas:
- Motor Mechanics - Level 1 Institute of the Motor Industry (IMI) Light Vehicle Maintenance and Repair
- Engineering - BTEC Level 1 Diploma in Engineering (QCF) equivalent to 4 GCSEs
- Hair and Beauty – Level 1 Principle Learning in Hair & Beauty Studies: equivalent to 2 GCSEs
These courses are very successful, bespoke programmes that allow those attending to get ‘hands on’ experience of a particular subject and trade area.
Some of the colleges that we work with at Moorside are:

- Reaseheath College
- Stoke on Trent College – Burslem Campus
