The curriculum encompasses an educational residential programme which prepares young people with complex educational, emotional, physical, and mental health needs, to live as independently as possible and participate in society. It enables young adults to achieve accredited qualifications in Maths, English and other vocational subjects, develop empathy and communication skills, independent living skills, self-confidence and a responsible work ethic which encourages participation in their community and the acquisition of meaningful occupation upon completion of the course.
