Creative Media Pathways Entry Level, Full Time, 1 year E

Summary

This course helps to develop Personal and Social skills and develop resilience and confidence through creative activities and volunteering. It has been designed to offer students with moderate learning disabilities a range of activities from which to build confidence, resilience, independent thought and personal and social skills.

Students can select options resulting in personalised timetables that are made up from modules in Art, Creative activities, Duke of Edinburgh, Dance and Performance and volunteering activities. Students will be encouraged to identify activities and interests they would like to pursue within an educational framework to develop confidence, independent thought and personal and social skills. All students will be given the opportunity to gain qualifications in Functional Skills, ASDAN PSD and Duke of Edinburgh Award.

Students will work toward personal and team targets within a supported environment where all contributions are valued. Tutorial Supervisors will support the students in matters that include personal, financial, educational and social issues, liaising and representing the students with internal and external support.The programme asks students to be involved in identifying real life skills they will need, skills they already have and opportunities and experiences they need to equip them for coping with the wider world whether that includes work or not.

Appropriate levels of support will be in place but progressively we will work throughout the year to enable students to be less dependent on support to achieve realistic targets.

Students attend College for three days each week, 9am - 4pm. Group sizes are normally limited to eight students.
