Meaningful, Transferable Learning Opportunities

Unlike mainstream Further Education establishments, Beechwood College measures success based on the student as an individual. This personalised approach is achieved through the completion of individualised learning programmes which build towards achieving a range of meaningful goals, co-produced with the students, their families, and their wider circles of support when they first arrive at the Beechwood College.

These goals are not just limited to achieving formal qualifications; our approach includes the attainment of essential, transferable life skills aligned to each student’s current and future needs, such as home management, budgeting, and vocational skills, as well as their own goals which reflect personal interests and hobbies.

At Beechwood College we are proud to support our students to achieve meaningful outcomes and equip them with the skills they need to thrive in the future.

Parent Visitor

“I wanted to write and thank you again for the warmth and kindness you showed me during my visit to Beechwood College. From the moment I arrived, I felt genuinely welcomed, and I am very grateful for the time you took to guide me around the college and help me understand the work you do.”

Parent Visitor

“Managers at Beechwood College lead by example and totally understand care and the challenges that support workers face day in day out. It’s a tough job and not for the faint hearted or easily offended as the students needs are the main focus… as they should be.”

Support Worker

“We have never met Support Workers who are so kind hearted and thoughtful. The Education and Therapies Departments are also very supportive and are always looking at different ways to help our son progress and gain more independence in his life.”

Student Parent

“My son has formed a close bond with his teacher and misses the education structure during the College holidays.”

Student Parent

“The staff are wonderful, very friendly and approachable.”

Student Parent

“It’s a home-from-home.”

Student Parent

“The staff are very positive and there are lots of smiles.”

Student Parent

“A fantastically caring, happy College.”

Parent

“What’s very important to us is that Beechwood is a very transparent organisation and we feel our son is in safe hands as safeguarding is the number 1 priority for us. At previous placements they’ve discouraged parent involvement. Beechwood is totally the opposite, they want us to be involved in our son’s life. Other placements could learn a lot from Beechwood and the way they do things.”

Student Parent

“Beechwood College is good because it helps me to develop my life skills. The staff understand me and I feel like they are always here to help me.”

Student

“Beechwood College is a stable, caring, safe and well run, placement. The people there are really keen for our son to develop and that is so reassuring for us as parents. He came to Beechwood with really bad challenging behaviour. However, during his time at Beechwood his behaviour has shown a great improvement.”

Student’s Parent

“I just want to say a massive thank you to everyone at Beechwood College who care for S. She means so much to me and I can see and hear how happy she is. This has then helped her mother immensely to have a bit of guilt free life back and time to spend with her husband and daughter with a little less stress, well, a lot less stress. We love S very much as we are just so happy for her. So massive thanks again xxx”

Student’s family friend

We were really impressed with both you and the college, and it was lovely to meet some of the students. We are a few years away, but we would love for our son to attend.

We are pleased with the teachers and the range of activities such as rebounding, dancing and swimming…the progress is superb.
