Residential Provision
Our residential provision provides a comfortable and supported living element of College life in which we promote independence, embrace individuality and encourage a range of enrichment activities and opportunities for all. With a total communication ethos and person centred values, we aim to ensure that our students have a sense of belonging and are able to develop friendships, skills and interests which they can continue to pursue into the future.
Within residences, a team of staff ensure students can relax in the comfort of their lodges, or get involved in activities which are run during the evenings and weekends. For example:
- Wii competitions
- Craft Nights
- Inter-lodge bake offs
- Pool competitions
- Discussion Evenings
- Trips to local attractions
