New Horizons is a specialist provision for students with Profound and Multiple Learning Difficulties and Autism. It is designed to help every student achieve their full potential; this is done through a combination of rigorous assessment, bespoke timetabling and person centred planning.

Our curriculum includes Entry 1 Preparation, practical life skills, multi-sensory learning and community based activities. It encourages you to learn through interaction. The relationships you form with familiar staff allows us to learn about your abilities, motivations, communication methods and preferences to teach you new skills in a structured, supportive way.

You are assessed through a range of assessment tools and observation.

Where appropriate, you may progress onto a pre-entry programme or adult services.

There will be additional costs for trips and visits. Students on this course normally require an extended transition period.

Positive Futures is a set of essential qualities, embedded throughout your study programme, that we seek to develop in all students:

Commitment
Collaboration
Confidence
Resilience

You will also engage in the Positive Futures Careers Programme, developing key employability skills through a diverse range of activities including work placements, volunteering, employer talks, industry study visits and employment and university fairs.

For New Horizons: Entry is subject to assessment needs, school/college reference, EHCP outcomes and successful transition.
