Within the SEND supported learning pathway at SSC we offer provision for learners with wide-ranging learning difficulties and disabilities, ensuring that anyone and everyone has the opportunity to education and to progress towards their chosen career or independence development aspiration.
There has been a steady rise (6-12% increase annually) in the number of young people with SEND over the last several years. These young people are now becoming 16-19+ and progressing/transitioning out of statutory education settings. This has seen the increased need of FE providers to offer a wide variety of inclusive and adaptive curriculum to meet the broad and wide-ranging need of these individuals. Welcome to SEND @ SSC.

At South Staffordshire College we provide an adaptive and progressive curriculum delivered by specialist staff that allows learners to come in at a wide range of starting points, from learners with PMLD, CLD, MLD and additional needs of medication, personal care or a secure environment in our ‘Futures’ provision(s) to learners with ASD, ADHD, Asperger’s and some learners with SEMH difficulties in our ‘Supported to Learn’ and ‘Routes’ provision. All learners, regardless of their starting point have progression opportunities available, be this academic through the SEND provision into mainstream, or developing their independence skills in preparation for adulthood.
