Support students with special educational needs and they can access life skills courses as a foundation pathway, as well as continuing with Maths and English, to help prepare from adult life, work and being part of the community. These colleges have “supported learning” hubs or units within a mainstream setting.

(Learning and Additional Needs) schools also provide vocational and life skills options on their timetable, within a Sixth Form, alongside the continuation of Maths and English. This is a slightly more familiar type of setting, more like an extension of Gosden, and it provides a steppingstone into a General Further Education (GFE) college

Are designed for young people to enable the progression onto a Supported Internship pathway in the future. Pre-supported Internships are ideal for those who would benefit from a more supportive environment and entry to the workplace.
