Education and
Lifelong Learning

We support our students to form meaningful goals and achieve realistic outcomes for the future through the development of person-centred Individual Learning Plans. Each students’ plan includes tailored academic, leisure, and therapy programmes which highlight areas of ability and need, and support students to achieve their personal aims and ambitions.

Empowering students to recognise, reflect on, and celebrate their progress and achievements helps them take ownership of their learning journey and make informed decisions about their future.

At Beechwood College, we take a multi-professional approach to teaching and learning, drawing on a range of well-established educational frameworks and communication systems, including elements of TEACCH, PECS and Makaton, alongside many other evidence-based approaches.

Our meaningful, person-centred, activity-based curriculum is designed to develop essential life skills, build confidence and self-esteem, and support students to achieve positive outcomes across all aspects of adult life.

Learning at Beechwood College extends far beyond the classroom. It takes place throughout the day and across all environments, providing meaningful opportunities for growth and development. Students are encouraged and supported to plan, organise, and participate in a wide variety of individual and group educational, recreational and community-based activities, both on and off site, helping them develop independence, social skills and real-world experience.

Curriculum

We recognise that each student learns in their own unique way. Our qualified lecturers, supported by their education teams, offer a wide range of teaching styles so that learning potential can be maximised ensuring every student can achieve a level of individual success.

This success comes in many forms through the delivery of accredited and non-accredited courses. Vocational skills for life are taught through independent living, leisure activities, computing skills and creative opportunities.

The broad curriculum offered at Beechwood College ensures a fun and engaging learning environment where all students are encouraged to participate and reach their full potential. We teach transferable skills that students will benefit from as they progress into future adulthood.
