Post-16 and college support
We help young people move towards independence with structured support that builds on their strengths and prepares them for what comes after school.
Preparing for life beyond school
The transition from school to college or the workplace is one of the most significant a young person will face. Our post-16 programmes provide the structured support and skills development that make this transition successful.
Designed for post-16 learners who need more
Our post-16 programmes support young adults with a range of SEN needs as they navigate the transition from school to college, apprenticeship or employment.
All placements align with EHCP requirements where applicable and are delivered by practitioners with specialist SEN experience.

Frequently asked questions
Our post-16 programmes are designed for young people with SEN needs who are transitioning from school to college, apprenticeship or employment. We support young adults aged 16 and above who need specialist help to navigate this critical stage.
Yes. As well as supporting the transition to college or further education, we work with young people who are moving towards employment or apprenticeships, helping them develop the skills and confidence they need to succeed.
Where a young person has an EHCP that extends into post-16 education, we align all support with the plan's requirements. We work closely with families, colleges and local authorities to ensure continuity of support.
Post-16 support focuses more on independence, life skills and the specific demands of further education or employment. We shift the emphasis towards preparing the young person for what comes next, while still providing the specialist SEN support they need.
Yes, where the young person is comfortable with that. We recognise that post-16 is a time when young people are building independence, so we balance family involvement with the young person's own growing autonomy.
