Kehelland College is based on site here at Kehelland Trust, providing specialist education to young people and adults with learning disabilities. Our courses include a year-long course for learners aged 16-24 with an EHCP, and Independent Living Skills courses to older learners aged 19+.
We are a dedicated team of tutors and learning support staff. This means we can work closely with learners in the classroom, either on a one staff-two learner basis or a one-to-one basis. In addition, we review support at team meetings to provide the best experience for our learners.
Learners on our ‘Achieve’ and ‘Advance’ programs attend Kehelland three days a week. The classroom sessions are held on two of these days, with the third day being focused on work experience. Leaners on our ‘Succeed’ course will have one day in the classroom and two days taking part in more comprehensive work experience either on site or with suitable employers who provide meaningful workplace experiences following the learners chosen career path.
The learners also experience practical English and maths skills which are embedded within their days.
Our Classroom
We run our courses in small groups, up to a maximum of 12. As a result, this gives us the best opportunity to focus our attention and support onto our learners.
We have set up our classroom for our needs, including a washing machine, oven, and kitchenette. These are essential for our units covering household skills, basic cooking and food safety.
Each of our learners has the use of a laptop and tablet, and we use assistive technology to support our learners’ use of IT for their work.
Kehelland College are proud and passionate about delivering education for people with learning disabilities.
