through the day.
All students in sixth form are given the opportunity/support to enhance their independence skills. They are
given the opportunity to attend local colleges, completing appropriate courses; there are some students
that have additional support/tuition within the sixth form provision, this looks at enhancing their skills
around numeracy and literacy.
Young people are also encouraged to develop socially, following extracurricular activities which support
their own individual interests. In the evenings, students attend local youth clubs, music groups and sporting
clubs in addition to participating in recreational activities such as attending the local cinema and bowling
alley. Students are also given the opportunity to complete funded driving lessons, providing them with an
important life skill.
Students work in partnership with their keyworker to develop their own individualised programmes for
development, including the development of academic, social and practical skills. This is reviewed and
updated regularly as the student develops and progresses.
