Foundation Learning

Foundation Learning

Carmel College aims to offer provision for students with moderate learning difficulties to improve the skills and competences that they will need in adult life.  The Foundation Learning Programme is taught in small group sizes and is tailored to meet the student’s individual needs.

Students studying the course will follow a full timetable from 8.50 am to 3.55 pm with a 1.00pm finish on Fridays.

There are 3 curriculum strands to the course at 3 levels of attainment:- 

  • Daily Living Skills
  • Community and Leisure
  • Practical and Vocational Skills

Students with learning difficulties often learn best through real activities and practical tasks of relevance and interest to them.  The course will provide students with opportunities to improve their skills and reach their potential enabling them to progress successfully onto the next stage in their life with increased confidence and self-esteem.

What our students say...."I enjoy this course because there is a lot of variety and we get to go out on visits. I've done work experience at St Mary's infant school and I've also been doing my Duke of Edinburgh Award." (Gemma Glover)
