The majority of our students are neurodiverse and the thought of transitions can send them into ‘shutdown’ due to anxiety and feeling overwhelmed. We therefore have to approach transitions carefully. As such we work hard with the parents, case workers and referral partners on an individual basis to support the student’s progression ensuring it is the best fit for them and handled sensitively.
However, for the whole setting, we offer career days on 3 dates per year and house partner companies to talk about careers and job opportunities. We have links to Universities and have overview days with them. We also identify routes for employment and talk these through with students across the academic year.
