Core Offer
Breakthrough’s core offer is accessible to learners aged from 4 to 25 years. Our post-16 learners also benefit from an extensive PSHE and careers programme to help them to prepare fully for adulthood.
Compulsory Aged Education Learners
Compulsory aged education learners (Reception to Year 11), must remain on roll at a registered school setting. Breakthrough College will work in partnership with the school and can offer up to 15 hours provision per week, across 3 days.
The core offer is therapeutic education focused on a transitional plan to enable the young person to re-engage with a registered school setting, if possible. Should your child not be registered at a school setting, you should in the first instance, contact your Local Authority SEND Team to discuss further.
Post 16 Learners
We are a DfE registered independent specialist post 16 day college. We offer GCSEs, A Levels and Functional Skills amongst other qualifications. Towards the end of Y11 and/or at the time of your child’s EHCP review, considering the next steps for their educational journey, you may be advised to look at different educational settings that could be a potential setting for your child moving forward. Should Breakthrough College be one of these recommendations, you are welcome to contact us to discuss this further. We will need your case worker and/or the career service details to proceed.
