This pathway supports students to develop their communication skills, confidence, self-esteem and emotional wellbeing. It’s also designed for those who may have been out of education (NEET) or are transitioning from hospital or mental health settings, allowing for a bespoke timetable that builds trust and re-engagement with learning.
Specialist staff and therapists – including Speech and Language, Occupational Therapy, Physiotherapy and Counselling – shape the curriculum and ensure progress is measured.
