“I’D SAY MY<br />

WORLD HAS<br />

BEEN OPENED UP<br />

AND I FEEL THAT<br />

I HAVE MORE<br />

CHOICES”<br />

Based at our Hammersmith & Fulham College<br />

and Southall Community College, the Inclusive<br />

Learning Department offers a wide range of<br />

courses to students with a variety of needs and<br />

aspirations, including specialist programmes<br />

that are designed to meet the needs of students<br />

with profound and multiple learning disabilities<br />

(PMLD). Our students learn by gaining hands-on<br />

experience and developing skills, knowledge and<br />

attitudes that can be used throughout life. We<br />

encourage participation in everyday situations<br />

to give our students the confidence to make the<br />

most of opportunities as they transition into<br />

adulthood. Our students also become community<br />

aware by participating in activities and projects<br />

outside of college. We aim to stretch and<br />

challenge each student so they push themselves<br />

to become the very best that they can be.<br />

The staff team have considerable experience<br />

to be able to support positive outcomes for all<br />

students. Within Inclusive Learning we participate<br />

in regular staff development and training sessions<br />

to ensure that our strategies are informed by<br />

best practice in the sector. We collaborate with<br />

leading organisations that support specific<br />

learning difficulties and disabilities, including:<br />

Ambitious about Autism; Scope; Remploy;<br />

Action on Disability; and Mencap. We believe<br />

that every individual should be supported to<br />

achieve realistic aspirations and that their<br />

learning will be robustly planned, monitored and<br />

recorded to evidence learner-centred outcomes.<br />

Our learning environments provide access to<br />

real life experiences that develop confidence,<br />

communication and independence, which<br />

supports individuals to positively progress as<br />

adults that are independent and, in most cases,<br />

can access the world of work.<br />
