THE
COLLEGE DAY
A THERAPEUTIC
APPROACH
WORK
EXPERIENCE
Our curriculum is informed through the input of our specialist in house team of Speech and Language therapists, Counsellors and Psychologists. Whether through direct delivery by the team, or through co-planning of learning, all of our learners benefit from our blended model that is evidence based and created to fit the needs of each individual.
Almost all of our learners undertake work experience as part of their programme. This structured at the pace and level of the learners – so for some this may mean skill development initially and an in-house placement, for others this could mean full days in a work place that is of interest to them for the future.
Our unique approach at Oakwood is that we work with the learner, their families and other people involved in their lives to decide what and how they should learn. The content of the learners programme is driven by the targets in their EHCP and their own personal goals and aspirations, and we use the curriculum as vehicle to deliver this.
The first six weeks of the College term is an initial assessment period, where we design activities and learning to assess the learners starting point in relation to their targets, and where we can, we use a measurement tool so that we can track the progress that they make through the terms.
WHO IS
WHO?
Each learner has a dedicated personal Tutor, who is also their class teacher – they will see them for the majority of their college programme. Parents and carers will have the opportunity to meet the teacher at the beginning of term and also at the 6 week person centred review.
Each of our campuses is overseen by a Head and Deputy Head of campus who are responsible for the day to day running of the College. They lead on areas such as curriculum, behaviour, safeguarding and attendance.
Leading both campuses in Dawlish and Torpoint is the College Principal. The College Principal is responsible for managing the direction of the college, developing our provision and leading our staff.
MEETING THE INDIVIDUAL NEEDS OF OUR LEARNERS
TEACHING & LEARNING
OAKWOOD
We work with learners aged 16 and upwards including those working at the earliest stages of entry level qualifications to Entry 3 and level 1.
Our Curriculum offer is not defined by a qualification, and is structured around the Post 16 Study Programme model which includes a learning programme, work experience, maths and English and other non qualification activity to enrich our learners experience and prepare them for adulthood.
