Our curriculum model is highly personalised, built around each learner’s needs, aspirations and EHCP outcomes. It includes the following key elements:

​

Student Voice & Personal Planning

• Students are encouraged to attend and contribute to their own EHCP reviews

• Action plans are created in collaboration with students, supporting goal setting and long-term planning

• Our College Council provides a strong platform for student voice, promoting understanding of rights, responsibilities, and democratic processes

Mental Health and Emotional Wellbeing

• Mental health is embedded within the curriculum, helping students understand their own wellbeing, recognise the needs of others, and seek appropriate support

• Learners access a range of pastoral support, including a key person, family liaison, counselling, and help with bursary or benefit applications

​

Work Experience and Careers

• All curriculum areas include exposure to careers education, helping students understand the relevance of their learning

• Students access a range of supported and independent work experience placements, as well as employer encounters and community links

 Independence & Life Skills

• A supported travel training programme develops confidence in using public transport

• Learners are taught household and daily living skills

• Bespoke timetables allow some students to study independently, exploring subjects aligned with future interests

Social Enterprise

• Our on-site social enterprise outlet provides hands-on experience in teamwork, communication, customer service and money handling

• It also serves as a safe, structured way for students to build friendships and reduce the risk of social isolation

By combining academic content with real-life experience, therapeutic support and community engagement, we help our young people gain the skills, knowledge and self-belief they need to move confidently into adulthood.
