“Leaders, managers and governors have high ambitions and expectations for learners. Leaders and managers have developed a good curriculum offer which enables learners to study one of four pathways: engagement and interaction, maximum independence, preparing for employment, and vocational learning. As a result, most learners benefit from an individually tailored and well-taught programme that is based on their needs, aspirations and ambitions. Learners make good progress and are prepared well to move from college to the next stage of their life.”
