HORIZONS
Young College
We offer study programmes designed specifically for young people (aged 16 to 24) who have a
learning difficulty and/or disability. All courses run for a complete academic year (September - June).
Every student benefits from a programme which is personally tailored to their specific needs and
interests. We meet every student and their family to identify their learning needs and talk through the
options. All programmes will include skills for independence, study skills, and English & Maths. There
may also be options to choose from, which may include IT, Catering
& Hospitality, Horticulture, Art & Design, Horse Riding, Floristry and Sports & Leisure.
We re-engage the students through a curriculum that comprises both academic and vocational subjects
and by offering them the pastoral support they need to fully enable them to succeed on the course and in
their future learning and employment.
For further information on the referral and interview process please contact Natalie Agyeman on

We aim to ensure that every young person works towards
becoming an independent, confident and purposeful
member of the community.
This programme is suitable for students aged 14-16 whose first language is not English,
students in Year 10 or 11 who are unlikely to succeed with a 'traditional' KS4 school
curriculum, or students in Year 11 who would like to study GCSEs or a vocational option
outside the school environment.
If you do not have the English, Maths and study skills for your
chosen study programme, we do have an option which will help you
to develop these. This is called the Pathways Programme. You can
study job-related subjects as part of this Programme.
Please ask us for more information.
