Entry and Pre-Entry Level programmes offer students with learning difficulties and/or disabilities exciting opportunities to develop skills for life and work.
Our aim is to support students to fully develop their individual potential, so all learners participate in an initial assessment process, which enables us to agree an individual learning plan and the level of support required. We pride ourselves in being able to offer a caring environment which encourages the learner to gain confidence and self esteem whilst learning new skills and having fun.
Additional support can be offered in a variety of ways, including: • learning support in the classroom environment • provision of specialist equipment or resources • support from other professionals / agencies, such as speech therapy • assessment and additional support for students with medical needs, reduced mobility, a physical disability or sensory impairment • transport arrangements between college sites.
Each student has a personal tutor to ensure that they settle into college life and learning, and to act as the first point of contact for help.
All Entry programmes offer three core subject areas of Literacy, Numeracy and ICT. Students develop a broad range of vocational and employment skills which may include Horticulture and the Environment, Catering, Practical (Construction and Motor Vehicle) and Retail.
In addition, students are given the opportunity, with full support, to undergo ‘on the job’ training in real life situations (for example in the College Bistro). This is an invaluable part of realising students’ potential and preparation for the working environment. External visits are encouraged as part of the curriculum to support the student’s learning and to develop social skills
James Wakefield
James Wakefield has studied Personal Progression at Boston College for nearly three years, attending three days a week. “I love being a student at College. I have made so many friends and have learnt a lot of skills to help me live on my own and hopefully get a job in the future.” One day a week James works at Tesco in Holbeach to gain experience within a working environment. James’ father has noticed a great difference in James during the time he has been at the College. “This has been great for James’ as he has clearly become more independent and more inclined to do things on his own initiative. I’ve noticed his confidence grow so much over the last 18 months, I’m very proud of his achievements.”
