What the college says

Our Stepping Stones to Further Education course is designed to support students with an EHCP as they explore and prepare for their next steps. By building essential skills in independence, employability, and personal development, the course helps students transition smoothly into a vocational further education course. Through a combination of practical learning and hands-on experiences, students gain the confidence and skills needed to make informed choices about their future, all within a supportive and inclusive environment. Each student's journey with us will be tailored and structured around their individual EHCP outcomes.
