All pupils have access to careers and guidance on further education. All individual needs are understood and bespoke packages are planned. Those pupils in their final year of schooling will have a timetable and curriculum that focusses on their future pathway. They will be provided with a range of experiences and options supported by key members of staff. For our more dependent pupils, transition into College begins after Easter with taster and orientation visits.
A wide range of IAG is on offer and could include:
- Support from the Transitions team
- Visits from local college staff
- Talks from ex pupils
- Attendance at Careers Fairs
- Local employer talks in school
- Work experience
- Visits to local colleges
- Local college taster carousel
- Access to Level 6 Careers Advisor where appropriate to the needs of the learner
In addition, College works very closely with Adult Services including Day Care Services, Employment Services and Adult Community Learning Disability Team to ensure a smooth transition at 18 and 19. For our more complex young people the Transition Team ensures all services collaborate to provide the best transition pathway.
