STUDENT STUDY PROGRAMMES AT EMA
Our education and training programmes have been specifically developed for Young People aged 16-25 with Special Educational Needs (SEND). We are funded by the Education and Skills Fund Agency (ESFA) and Local Authorities.
We deliver Study Programmes that support students to develop new skills, knowledge and behaviours with a focus on the Preparation for Adulthood (PfA) themes:
• Employment
• Independent Living
• Good Health
• Friends, Family and Relationships
Learning at EMA supports students in developing the skills and behaviours for independence and work. This practical hands-on approach to learning supports students who have found school
challenging, allowing them to develop skills, knowledge and behaviours for independence, employment and a successful future.
During students’ transitions and throughout the first 6 weeks of their enrolment at EMA we work with all students to complete a full assessment of their ability and aspirations. The outcome of this enables us to construct an individualised Study Programme and timetable focused on specifically meeting their needs and EHCP targets: it is designed to show their achievement as they move into adulthood.
The Study Programmes consist of a mixture of externally accredited, and non-accredited learning from Pre-Entry to GCSEs. We focus on challenging the student at the correct level and supporting their individual progression.
