We will identify the learner’;s individual strengths and areas for improvement from our initial assessments and observations. They will then receive an individualised curriculum that is designed for each person. Progress will be monitored using the RARPA process where personal targets are set and regularly reviewed with the learner, the tutor, parents, carers and other professionals. There is also the opportunity to run an Enterprise project, where newly learnt skills can practiced in a safe and nurturing environment.
There is a mandatory cost of £35 at the beginning of term. You will also need to make payments towards cookery lessons.
