Welcome Specialist Independent College & Alternative Education Provider in Dorset, Sefton & Liverpool
Our intention is to provide everyone with the skills, knowledge and experiences to:
Our Programmes
We work with young adults aged between 16 & 30 with Special Educational Needs & Disabilities (SEND) and with young adults who are 16-18 who require an alternative education provision to mainstream school or college.
Helping Parents & Carers
For many parents and carers of young people with special educational needs, the mainstream education system can be something of a minefield. We work in partnership with you to create a specific education plan for your young person.
Work Experience
We work with a wide variety of employers to meet the careers aspirations of our learners and the needs of the employers in the local job market. We’re always looking out for enthusiastic employers and businesses who might be able to offer work experience.
#SayYEStoSEN Campaign
We are encouraging business leaders to take on Special Educational Needs (SEN) students for work experience. #SayYEStoSEN aims to change attitudes towards employing people with SEN. Learn more by clicking the link below.
