Oakwood Specialist College

Main information

At Oakwood we provide a rich curriculum that is focused on preparing our learners for adulthood right from the start. We work with learners, their families, and other professionals to understand each young person’s aspirations and use this information to design individualised learning programmes that help them to build the skills, knowledge, and behaviours that they need to achieve their goals.

We offer study programmes that are built around the targets that are set within each learner’s Education, Health, and Care Plans, and also provide opportunities for them to:

• develop learners’ skills in maths and English.
• complete a personal growth programme that includes relationships and sex education.
• enjoy enrichment opportunities and take part in health and well-being activities.
• develop our learner’s work skills and take part in work experience.

Our aim is to support learners to progress in to living with greater independence, moving in to paid or unpaid work, or moving on to further education such as in a general further education College.

Each learner that comes to Oakwood is different, and so is their journey. We recognise and celebrate this by ensuring that each study programmes is individualised and supports learners to reach their individual goals. We have three campuses in Dawlish, Torpoint and Yate, each delivering our core Oakwood values whilst ensuring we meet the needs of each local community.
