Skills for Life and Employment
We offer a range of programmes for students who have faced barriers during their time at school, including those with identified Special Educational Needs and/or Disabilities (SEND). Our study programmes are designed to give young people the opportunity to develop their skills, knowledge and experience so that they can gain employment, a more independent life, or higher qualifications. Our specialist team work with learners who experience anxiety, or have special educational needs and disabilities including social, emotional and mental health needs.
We plan our programme to meet Education, Health and Care Plans and other planned outcomes. Our Learning Support Team help students in lessons, at break and lunch times, and at the start and the end of the day, as appropriate. All study programmes include English, communication skills, Maths, IT, personal and social development, skills for employment and work experience.
We offer the following:
Sensory Learning
This course supports students with complex needs to develop their communication skills and to make choices as they prepare for adulthood. Our Personal Tutors and support staff work closely with parents/carers and external agencies, assessing and setting targets across the four areas of need, as outlined in the Education, Health and Care plan. A careful transition process is always in place to ensure the provision is right for each student.
