Course overview

Sensory Learning City of Bristol College

This course supports students with complex needs to further develop their communication and life skills and to make choices as they prepare for adulthood. 

Our personal tutors and support staff work closely with parents/carers and external agencies, assessing and setting targets across the four areas of need, as outlined in the Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP). 

A careful transition process is in place to make sure the provision is right for each potential student.
