Preparing for Adulthood

In the FE Department at Ellen Tinkham College, each student has a personalised learning programme which is underpinned by their specific needs which are important for them, (for example, in terms of their methods of communication, sensory processing needs, health needs) as well as being led by their specific interests and aspirations, which are important to them. As they move into Adulthood, future outcomes become very specific to individuals, and therefore learning in the FE Department is not topic led, but linked to four areas identified in the Department for Education’s Preparing for Adulthood framework
