Beacon Plus College

To us every individual is unique. Beacon Plus aims to value, support and challenge it’s learners so that they can achieve success. We support learners to develop in all aspects of life in line with the Preparing for Adulthood framework. Beacon Plus provides flexible pathways, offering a range of accreditations that are adapted to meet each learner’s needs, while increasing their independence at a personalised pace.

The intended outcomes from Beacon Plus learners are to increase opportunities to access employment and develop skills for independent adulthood for a range of young adults whose statutory education was within a specialist setting.

Beacon Plus is a collaborative partner of The Beacon School and continues the ethos and culture of high expectation and personalised learning, leading to good rates of progress.

We offer access to high quality opportunities to all learners to support them to develop necessary skills needed to live independently and successfully in our modern world.

Learners are eligible for a place if they are aged 19-25 , have an Education, Health and Care Plan, and Beacon Plus has confirmed with the local authority they are a suitable provider and are then named in the learner’s EHCP.

Once Beacon Plus has confirmed that we are able to offer a place we will be in touch with details of start dates and a welcome pack.

We aim to do this by:

•offering learners a safe and stimulating environment, which positively encourages the development of self-esteem and confidence

•helping our learners to develop into well-rounded, independent adults

•providing a curriculum which enables learners to enjoy their learning and reach their potential

•supporting learners to understand the importance as an adult accepting responsibility for their behaviour, show initiative and understand how they can contribute positively to their own lives and local community

•responding to individual needs, recognising individual achievement and offering equal opportunities working in partnership with our parents/carers and employers, to provide an environment where learners and stakeholders feel that staff are approachable and that they will always make time to listen
