Nash College offers a four strand provision that is personalised for each student using a content and context that is tailored to personal interest and abilities. The four curriculum strands are mapped to the EHCP outcomes for each student.
Therapeutic and curriculum catch up groups will comprise of no more than seven students and the sessions will be scheduled in addition to the personalised planned programme of study hours already timetabled for the academic year 2021/22.
Examples of some of the Therapeutic Support on offer will include:
- 1-1 and group Art therapy sessions to build life skills and promote healthy self-expression
