Our main role as a college is to prepare young people for life as an adult and this is a theme that needs to run through all parts of their education.
We know taking this step can be daunting for young people and carers alike, but our SEND department will be there every step of the way to ensure this is managed at a pace that suits the individual. The SEND team can help support young people into their own suitable path whether this is employment, apprenticeships, supported living or social/ day opportunities.
We work with surrounding schools and colleges to make sure any transition runs as smooth as possible and in line with the young person’s needs.
Our SEND and Wellbeing teams often do school visits to share college opportunities with Peterborough’s young people and toward the end of academic years will run transition sessions so learners can experience college life before the big move in September, these sessions let new learners meet tutors and support staff to help make that change a little less daunting in the new term.
Our transitions can be personalised where needed depending on SEND needs, talk to our SEND department for more details on 01733 761 361 (ask for the SEND team)
The local offer is provided to residents by each council as an overview of what is currently available for SEND young people. Local authorities work with schools, colleges, and specialist provisions to gather information of what courses and support is currently on offer in the area.
Early Help provides person-centred support to help families thrive within the community and in everyday life. Early help is not the intervention of social services but instead a gateway into receiving support that could benefit young people and help them engage within education and adulthood preparation.
