For many students, coming to college is a big step. It is a transition which involves many changes, new levels of independence, and new responsibilities. It will require students to have a greater level of decision making as they progress towards a more independent way of learning and living.
Our Foundation Pathway help students with Additional Learning Support needs progress to their next steps. Our specifically designed small group programmes are supported by our dedicated staff who recognise the barriers that can be presented in transitioning to further education and work with students individually to help them on their journey with Shrewsbury College.
