Further Education for visually impaired young people and adults. Many students have additional needs such as hearing impairment, physical and learning difficulties. Our aim is to prepare students for adult independent life choices. Our education and training programmes and teaching and learning experiences are designed to support this.
Provision is structured around 3 Independence courses which reflect the range and complexity of needs amongst our students.
The core curriculum is accessed through the student's individual timetable and comprises communication Skills, Numeracy and Literacy, Independent Living Skills, Mobility and Orientation, Occupational Studies, Computer Literacy, Personal Social and General Education, Health, Fitness and Leisure. Work placements are available to provide an insight into employment and voluntary work.
Our enhanced curriculum encompasses all aspects of daily living. This holistic approach ensures that all opportunities for learning can be made use of. Regular reviews ensure changing needs are met.
A range of student accommodation is available both on and off campus, as appropriate. Therapies available on campus include physiotherapy, speech therapy and occupational therapy. Counselling and psychological services can be arranged where needed.
We encourage prospective students, their parents and professionals to visit College before making an application.
