College FAQs
How do I know my son/daughter will progress?
All learners are supported to make progress which is actively celebrated every day. Each
learner has an Individual Learning Plan linked to their EHCP outcomes. SMART targets
are created and these are tracked in every lesson. You can expect to receive a 6-weekly
report within your son/daughter9s first term. We monitor the learners progress during our
three assessment weeks that occur throughout the academic year. Their progress is
communicated to parents / carers and local authorities in our mid- year and annual review
reports. Weekly Multi-Disciplinary Team meetings take place to discuss learner progress
and resolve any learning obstacles that have been identified.
How do you determine which pathway my son/daughter takes in college?
The application for the initial assessment and the information collated from previous
schools will all support in assessing which pathway your son/daughter will be placed on.
