They have a 42,000 square foot purpose built further education site.

Facilities

Features

Things to note

  • Some students have complex needs requiring educational support at home while they adjust, adapt and integrate into college life. They work closely with these students in their own homes to build their confidence, enabling them to access the community. They are also able to provide the facilities for students to take academic qualifications in their own home if necessary.
  • Bespoke learning packages are designed around both academic and vocational courses and invariably are sufficiently flexible in order to accommodate individual learning styles for the students. The aim is to move away from the ‘can’t do’ and ‘can’t achieve’ attitude that the majority of newly referred youngsters display and move towards a ‘can do’ and ‘can achieve’ attitude that will lead to future success and greater personal wellbeing.
  • At Tewkesbury, the vastness of space allows to accommodate a wide variety of vocational learning spaces. They have sufficient space and staff expertise to allow to organise and run new courses within a short space of time. From carpentry to brickwork, landscape gardening to boat maintenance, there’s plenty of flexible vocational courses available that can be changed to meet the desires of the students.
