Our Progression Curriculum provides an inclusive, accessible and ambitious curriculum offer. We provide our students with a genuinely supportive learning environment where happy and confident young people can maximise their own potential and where specialist SEND teachers and learning facilitators work collaboratively creating inclusivity, supporting a person led approach.

Our foundation programmes at Entry 2/3 and Level 1 are for young people who may have been disengaged from learning, underachieving or unsure about their study choices. Students will be introduced to vocational and employability skills alongside English, maths, digital literacy and citizenship to enable progression to further study in the wider college, an apprenticeship programme or employment.

Our Pre-Supported Internships are in partnership with Pure Innovations and provide a college based internship for young people with an EHCP not quite ready for an off-site internship and supports the development of employability skills alongside work experience placements.

Our Supported Internships are based off site at Stepping Hill Hospital, Trafford General Hospital and Trafford Local Authority. These internships provide a unique opportunity for young people with an EHCP to enhance their employability skills in a real working environment where interns are treated as an equal in the workplace which shows that they are valued members of the workforce.

Within Progression Curriculum we also have a range of bespoke provision to support young people to integrate into college life and learning so you know that there a starting point for everyone.

This is a pre-college course for young people who have just finished school and are thinking of coming to college in September. College Ready is a two-day transition course which will help you to familiarise yourself with our supportive college environment, take part in fun team building activities, experience vocational tasters and have an opportunity to make friends, meet teachers and support staff.

Step into Learning is designed for young people who are undecided about their future career and don’t feel ready to access a full- time course or need support to enter the world of work.

This 10-week, 10 hour course will support young people who have been disengaged from learning to attend college, helping to remove barriers to participation in education and re-integrate into a learning setting.

Our Blended Learning Programme is for young people who are unable to access learning on site due to health issues. This mixed delivery programme will help you to overcome barriers to learning with the ultimate aim to support you to on site learning. Your curriculum will be planned to coincide with parallel on- site course to allow a blended approach, allowing you to attend in person sessions when you feel confident to do so.
