Entry 1A Introduction to Personal Progression

Our Entry 1A classroom

WELCOME TO OUR CLASSOur course is Entry 1A Introduction to Personal Progression is a two-year course designed for students who require a higher level of support with their needs both personally and academically.

Our highly skilled staff ensure our young people feel safe and comfortable in their college life and their passion to increase independence, life skills and opportunities is evident by student progression and success.

Academically we support students who are working at standards 2 and 3 (equivalent to P Scales 7 and 8).

The course is delivered on a very practical level.
