WELCOME TO OAKWOOD
TORPOINT CAMPUS

Hi, I’m Julia and I am the Head of Campus at Oakwood Torpoint. Oakwood Torpoint overlooks the River Tamar and has great access from nearby Plymouth via the Ferry, and also attracts students from nearby towns in Cornwall. We have such fun at Torpoint and there is a real sense of community here. Our learners really enjoy the varied enrichment programme and all the access we have to activities in the local area to help with their learning.

We have a lovely garden space with a swing and a trampoline as well as sensory areas and a training flat! We are particularly proud of our music offer, we have a dedicated music room kitted with drums and keyboards and microphones. We have a specialist tutor that comes to the college to help learners to play instruments and develop their performance skills which the learners really enjoy.

We work hard here too! We follow a timetable that includes maths and English as well as an employability and independent living programme. Learners at Torpoint often aim to move in to supported living when they finish here so we really concentrate on building the skills they need to be more independent. All learners take part in work experience or work related activities to help them to develop the skills they need to enjoy paid or unpaid work after college.

Torpoint is such a warm and friendly place to learn, you can feel it as soon as you arrive. I hope to meet you if you come to visit.

Kind regards
Julia
Head of Campus

Feedback from last Academic year

Philosophy on feedback

As part of our approach to reflective practice Phoenix Learning and Care recognise and embrace the importance of developing a culture of continual learning and development.  We welcome feedback on our achievements and the opportunity to share best practice, however we equally understand the importance of learning from our shortfalls. As such we welcome hearing about where we may have not lived up to our high standards and we truly value the opportunity to reflect and learn about areas that we need to develop further.

Within the last academic year we have received the following number of compliments and complaints.  

1
COMPLIMENTS
0
COMPLAINTS

If you would like to provide feedback to the school or wish to make us aware of a compliment or complaint then you can email the school direct.

Alternatively, you may contact our Operations Director for Education, Darren Jackson on: djackson@plcl.org.uk

We treat all concerns appropriately and all complaints are investigated thoroughly following our complaints policy and procedure which can be found within the Policies section of this website.  

REFERRALS

Our proprietors Phoenix Learning and Care, welcome enquiries for placements in any of our services.

Please call us on 03330 150331 or email referrals@plcl.org.uk

We will provide an initial response to all enquiries as soon as possible, advising the options available and indicative dates of admission.

The referrals team can discuss the local offer and where appropriate, put you in contact with the respective Registered Manager or Head Teacher to discuss the practical areas in greater detail.

The Young Person and/or Student are openly encouraged to visit along with parents, guardians or Social Workers to see if the placement is suitable.

Once the placement is confirmed, we work to ensure a smooth transition including the completion of required documentation.

EQUALITY AND DIVERSITY

We work closely with our children/young people, their families and professionals to create bespoke programmes of learning for students, which are tailored to their educational and social and emotional needs, supporting them to achieve their full potential. This means that we deliver a personalised curriculum, which, where possible, acknowledges the national curriculum and meets the individual needs of our students, whilst also supporting them to meet the outcomes identified in their EHCPs.

To achieve this, every student has an individual education plan which identifies their areas of need and how we can best address them, both in terms of staff approach and the curriculum that they are provided.  Our goal is to provide access to the best academic outcomes possible as well as preparing our students for adulthood and the next stage of their education by equipping them with the skills required to achieve personal success.
