Hereward College offers courses for residential and day students at our Coventry campus.
Our pathway approach to learning ensures that all levels are catered for and we work with you to build a programme of study to help you achieve your goals.
Courses run from Pre-Entry up to Level 3 with a
Learning for Life sensory group specifically aimed at students with profound and multiple learning difficulties.
English and maths are included in all programmes and there is a focus on employability and enterprise.
For learners with more complex needs we have introduced
Aspire, an individualised and targeted intervention programme, which is supported by highly skilled experts.
We offer work skills and employability programmes, including supported internships, working in partnership with regional and national employers.
FOUNDATION PATHWAY (Pre-Entry, Entry Level 1 and Entry Level 2)
Learners on the Foundation Pathway are equipped with skills for life with a focus on learning for living through vocational workshops and the transition to independence and work. This person centred approach uses the RARPA framework with accredication where appropriate. The programme of learning includes art and design, employability, English, healthy living, ICT, maths, music, performing arts, and sport.
Independence and daily living skills such as laundry, travel training, cooking, cleaning, shopping, maintaining a home and accessing the community are also a key part of this programme.
Foundation Plus
Learners with complex needs work in small groups on individualised targets within a purpose built area. There is a strong focus on communication, independence, learner engagement and functional basic skills.
