Because Linkage is an independent college, we’re able to follow our own curriculum. This means we can offer you a fully individualised study programme as unique as you are.
It will challenge and support you at the right level to prepare you for your next steps in life – whatever you want those next steps to be.
We’ll work with you, the key people in your life, the local authority and a range of education and care specialists, to build a curriculum which is genuinely based on your aspirations, abilities, and needs.
We ask three main questions
- What does the student need?
- Where does the student want to be at the end of the year, and at the end of their time with Linkage College?
- How are we going to support them to achieve this in the short term and long term?
Building your study programme
We’ll build a bespoke study programme for you, in line with your Education, Health, and Care plan (EHCP).
Your study plan will:
- Build upon and enhance the skills and knowledge you’ve already gained.
- Provide a variety of projects that’ll further develop your independence, vocational and academic skills.
- Continue your academic studies.
- Give you the skills to become more independent.
- Help you acquire the knowledge and skills that will support your employment opportunities.
- Allow you to explore new initiatives which may uncover hidden talents, skills and interests.
- Prepare you for your future.
