SEND Report - Inclusion College

A more flexible approach to learning

SEND Report Executive Summary

Inclusion College is a specialist post‑16 college for young people aged 16–25 with Education, Health and Care Plans (EHCPs).

We work with students who need a smaller, more supportive learning environment to rebuild confidence, develop skills and prepare for their next step.

Every student matters

Every student at Inclusion College follows an individual programme shaped around their needs, interests and goals. Alongside recognised English and Maths qualifications, students take part in vocational learning, employability development, enrichment activities and life skills work. Emotional wellbeing and mental health support are built into daily practice, not treated as an add‑on.

Teaching and support.

Teaching and support are delivered through small groups and one‑to‑one sessions, allowing staff to adapt learning creatively and respond quickly when students need more help. Progress is monitored across learning, wellbeing and personal development, with regular reviews that involve students, families and professionals.

Support follows a graduated approach, using clear assessment, targeted interventions and ongoing review. We work closely with external agencies where required and place strong value on listening to students, understanding what works for them and helping them to develop self‑advocacy skills.

Parents and carers are seen as essential partners.

We prioritise open, respectful communication and aim to rebuild trust in education for families who may have had difficult past experiences.

Preparing young people for life beyond Inclusion College is a core focus of our work. Transition planning is personalised and realistic, supporting students to move on to further education, employment, supported internships or specialist pathways with confidence and clarity.

Our aim is simple:

To provide the right support, at the right time, so every young person can move forward with greater independence, resilience and belief in themselves.
