This programme will support all aspects of your needs including health, care, therapies, medications and educational development. We create supportive and stretching learning environments in which learners are encouraged to take ownership of their learning and develop their confidence and independence so they can make progress towards their EHCP outcomes.
What you'll learn
Working towards a range of experiential activities applicable to the learner’s needs:
- Functional Skills – English, Maths, money, ICT
- Social and Communication Skills
- Lifeskills
- Independence Skills
- A variety of leisure and vocational subjects
How you'll learn and be assessed
A sensory and developmental curriculum delivered in small steps with a personalised approach.
The curriculum focuses on developing communication, engagement and experiences. Activities are whole class, group or individually based. Curriculum is truly personalised and based on a variety of assessments and a young person’s EHCP outcomes.
Environments will be adapted depending on sensory needs and mode of learning. Teachers also work closely with therapists, where these are part of a young persons EHCP, and these are fully integrated within all aspects of the college day and sometimes even at home and the community.
Progression
Some learners may undertake a formal qualification at Entry level. Most learners will have a programme based on their own individual starting points and needs which is tracked and monitored in a variety of ways including individual targets that are negotiated and set with learners, carers and therapists.
Some learners progress to other courses. Most learners successfully progress into positive adult services and community provision.
Entry requirements
We would like to get to know you as soon as possible, sometimes even two years before you are due to leave school.
We run transition programmes and taster days to assess your needs but also make transition as smooth as possible.
Suitability for the programme will be assessed by the college SEND team and via local-authority consultation process.
