Foundation Learning...

Full-Time Study Programmes

We provide a range of Foundation Learning full-time and part-time courses for students with additional needs. Our aim is to help students develop a range of important skills - social, academic and vocational - whilst providing the support and encouragement for them to grow in confidence and express their personality. Our highly experienced and fully trained staff will give you lots of support and advice before you join college, and the support will continue during your programme.

 

All the programmes aim to help you to progress into independent living, further education and training or employment, and involve a mix of vocational study, basic English, maths and employability & tutorial sessions.

 

Whichever course you choose, you'll have the benefit of regular tutorials, enrichment opportunities, and advice and guidance on your next step as you build up your confidence, qualifications and skills throughout your chosen courses.

 

Foundation Learning areas:

  • Skills for Independence - 16-25 who may have an EHCP
  • Pathways to Progression - 16-18 years
  • Adult Provision (19+ without an EHCP or 25+ with an EHCP. Click here for our adult provision).

    • I'm on a work placement two days a week at Wilson's Autos, fixing cars, and they've decided to take me on as an apprentice!

      Ashley Haslam, Motor Vehicle Traineeship - studied at Rumworth School

    • The Traineeship built up my skills and got me on the course that I really wanted to do, which was the Apprenticeship; eventually I'd like to become a full-time Practitioner here at Queensbrook Nursery.
