Foundation Open evenings

Join us for a bespoke open day designed to support young people with Special Educational Needs in a calm, welcoming environment that allows young individuals to feel comfortable visiting the campus.

These events are for young people who are interested in joining one of our Foundation Learning Study Programmes, specialist programmes designed for students aged 16–24 who need to develop confidence and social skills and may require extra support or time to complete set work within a mainstream environment.

Students may have attended a school for those with SEN, have an Education, Health and Care Plan, had learning support at school, or not achieved the grades to move to a vocational Level 1 programme.

The event is open to all students from year 9 and starting the process early means we can support smoother transitions and ensure Education, Health and Care Plans (EHCPs) are relevant and up to date.
