For students with complex or severe needs, supported by an EHCP.
This programme is aimed at developing students’ independent living skills, domestic skills, and their ability to safely access their local community. With an understanding that some of our students will never be fully independent we strive to teach them to be as independent as possible.
This programme is supplied with a high staff to student ratio to ensure students are provided with the required guidance and supervision needed to ensure their development and safety.

Students still receive specialist support but can learn in small groups or with a high ratio of support.
