School of Foundation Learning - SEND

Our courses such as Encounter, Discovery and Move On are designed to help our students become more independent, build their confidence and communication skills and become ready for adult life.

Our Vocational Explorer and Foundation pathway courses support the transition into college and build student’s confidence and study skills.

We also provide supported employment and enterprise pathways, which facilitate students becoming ready for work, for instance through our Skills for Work and very popular Supported Internship Programmes.

In addition, we have bespoke catering and café courses. Students develop employability and catering skills with experience in a working kitchen. They also learn to cook, front of house and customer service skills.
