Welcome to the Learning for Independence and Future Employment (LIFE) provision.
We offer tailored programmes for school aged leavers who need extra support, including those with medical needs, helping them achieve their goals in a mainstream college environment.
Guided by each learners ECHPS, we provide three learning areas: Springfield, Supportive Learning and Foundation into Vocational Studies.
Specialist provision based at our St Albans Campus which caters for students with Profound and Multiple Learning Difficulties (PMLD), including those on the Autistic spectrum.
This provision is for young people working at pre-Entry level or below.
This course is designed for students with Moderate Learning Difficulties (MLD), working from Entry Level 1 to GCSE in Maths and English.
Our educational programme is dedicated to supporting young people with moderate learning difficulties, disabilities, and Social & Emotional Mental Health (SEMH) needs. We provide a nurturing and structured learning environment that empowers students to transition from supported education settings or prolonged periods out of education into Vocational Further Education or employment.
Possible progression to social care, assisted living, or, based on ability, a pre-entry-level Supportive Learning pathway.
Options include Foundation into Vocation (Pathway 4), supported employment, or community day services.
Students may advance to mainstream college courses or employment.
