Learning and Assessment

Students can apply to Brentwood College in their final year at school. Usually College destinations will be discussed in the year 14 reviews and students and their families supported to make suitable applications.  Successful candidates may stay in the College for up to 3 years. Students are placed on one of our three courses according to their level of learning and desired outcomes.

 

Post 19 students with personal care needs have their needs met in College by our trained staff. Medical needs are met by student’s GPs and therapy needs are bought in by College on a needs basis. Currently we have our physiotherapy needs (including hydrotherapy), SALT and music therapy provided by partners to Brentwood and our college music teacher.

 

We have strong links with social care and community health teams to support our students and families with any issues.
