PROGRAM OF STUDY

Our Program of Study course (sub-contracted through Cornwall Adult Education) has been created to deliver an alternative education provision for young people aged 15 – 18  (25 if they have an EHCP).  This course is particularly suitable for young people who have high anxiety, communication issues, low self-esteem and confidence.  The course is delivered in small groups, normally no more that 20 students at a time and covers a wide range of skills, activities and recognised qualifications. This allows us to place each individual at the centre of their learning experience.  Each young person is encouraged to fulfil their potential and explore their next steps in a very supportive environment.

In line with DfE (Department for Education) guidelines young people will study English and Maths, Level 1 and 2 Arts Award qualifications, Employability Skills qualifications, take part in activities to support independent living skills, plan trips and visits, have the opportunity to do work experience, make friends and become a more confident and rounded person.

Please take a look at our gallery to see what we get up to.

 

WORK EXPERIENCE

We also offer work experience through our onsite Rising Stars cafe and commercial kitchen, every Wednesday during term time.  Students gain an industry standard Food Safety and Hygiene certificate, and gain catering and customer service skills.

Students also have the opportunity to carry out work experience with local businesses that are matched to their career aspirations.  

 

SPRINGBOARD

We also have a one day a week early engagement program for young people between the ages of 13-16.  This is particularly suitable for young people who are electively home educated who are looking to re-engage in education.  It is also suitable for those who are struggling in mainstream education due to elevated anxiety, low self-esteem, low confidence and find communicating with others difficult.
