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 and beyond.
What you'll learn
- Working towards a range of activities applicable to your needs
- Improving the learner’s independence
- Building confidence to live successfully and safely in the community.
- Developing employability, communication and social skills through a range of interactive subjects.
- Supporting learners to achieve a range of practical and functional skills.
How you'll learn and be assessed
An aspirational curriculum delivered in a study programme perfect for a learner’s needs and personal goals. The curriculum focuses on developing communication, independent living skills, choices and decisions, employability skills and enrichment. Activities are whole class, group or individually based in the classroom and in the community.
Curriculum is truly personalised, based on a variety of assessments and a young person’s EHCP outcomes. The college will provide a supportive, stimulating and realistic environment for you to progress as an adult.
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 Recognising and Recording Progress and Achievement (RARPA).
Individual targets are negotiated and set with learners, carers and therapists. There are different pathways in this programme which will ensure it is tailored to your EHCP outcomes, aspirations and support needs.
Progression will be explored at your annual review. Learners move on to supported employment courses or Adult Social Care 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 to make transition as smooth as possible.
Suitability for the programme will be assessed by the college SEND team and via a local-authority consultation process.
