You will be assessed by achieving steps towards your EHCP outcomes on a Recognising and Recording Progress and Achievement (RARPA) basis.

There are no formal entry requirements. Applicants must complete an application form, even where the Local Authority has already consulted with the college. A reference from your current educational setting is required, along with relevant support plans and information. You will be invited to a course preview event and an interview, where you will meet key staff, discuss your aspirations and review your support needs. Please ensure your Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP) is included with your application.

Your progress is continually reviewed throughout the year to ensure that you are making consistent academic progress. Subject to suitable attendance and progress, you will have the opportunity to progress onto year 2 and 3 of the programme to further develop your independence skills. Throughout the year, parents and carers are invited to attend meetings where our team will share progress, achievements and encourage families to network and ask questions. Students leave this programme with increased independence and confidence, ready to take their next steps. Many progress to a day centre setting where they can continue to develop and thrive. Pathway to Tomorrow, Leicester College�s day provision, offers an appropriate and supportive destination for this transition.
