What You Will Study

This is a specialised provision designed for you if you have more complex learning difficulties. The curriculum is bespoke and tailored to meet your individual needs, ensuring you can learn and progress at your own pace.

You will develop key skills in vocational areas, personal and social development, and project-based learning. The flexible and varied programme gives you the chance to try a wide range of opportunities, with one-to-one support provided throughout your timetable. You will also have access to dedicated learning spaces that allow you to take part in meaningful activities where your progress can be clearly recognised and celebrated.

We use the TEACCH approach to provide structure and support to your daily routine and learning journey. When you apply, you will be offered a thorough transition package, which links to an effective induction programme. Your progress will then be tracked carefully throughout the year, with regular assessments to make sure you are developing well during your time on the course.

As part of the course, you will learn life and community skills. You will access vocational areas that are matched to your progression pathway. You will also develop your personal and social skills, including how to build relationships and keep yourself safe. In addition, you will benefit from specialised provision such as SALT, music, and sensory activities. Your learning will include maths and English, either through formal qualifications or integrated lessons, and you will take part in enterprise and project-based learning.
