SEND Foundation Programmes

Our SEND (Special Educational Needs & Disabilities) Foundation Programmes will support you in your steps towards independence.

We offer a variety of routes to get you where you want to go, even if you don’t yet have the qualifications to get you there.

Our programmes will allow you to progress towards independence - building personal, social and work readiness skills that are vital for daily living.

With individual and small group support from dedicated staff, you’ll get experience of working with others and learn how to deal effectively with everyday situations. These are the skills you’ll need to move forward towards achieving your goals and ambitions.


Post 16 Local Offer

Working with students, parents, carers and local service providers, West Sussex County Council (WSCC) have produced the West Sussex Local Offer, which provides a basic guide to the location and accessibility of services for students requiring special educational needs and disability (SEND).

Working in collaboration with WSCC, our Additional Support team have produced our own Post 16 Local Offer.

Additional Support
