Onward Progression Pathways

Students can progress through the levels at EOB to strengthen their future prospects
Level 1 students can progress to Level 2
Level 2 students can apply to college
Level 3 students can apply for University if a Diploma is studied or they take on a foundation year at Uni.

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.

Students’ Comments About The Video Games Design Course

Student T

I am really enjoying the course and the environment as there are less people and I can cope better. My tutor is friendly, patient and kind. My previous experiences at school were traumatic and unable to cope in the school environment.

Level 2 Games Design Student

My EOB experience has been overwhelmingly positive and accommodating. My complex mental and physical needs have been met and every step has been taken to make sure I am comfortable.

Ex-Student and now Technical Support Assistant at EOB

My time with EOB has been GREAT! Good tutors who have helped me set my path in the right direction. EOB has helped me to be more positive and it’s been a fun experience.

Student TW

Emeny Of Boredom have also supported me to develop socially and have provided many options to boost my confidence and motivation.
