  Subject to demand, a tailored provision can delivered. With ESOL at its core, this course provides progressive vocational and skills development pathways for each individual learner. Realistic and deliverable objectives are set for each learner. Outcomes are both hard (i.e. a Skills for Life ESOL Certificate) and soft ( i.e. personal and social skills development, e.g. timekeeping ).The provision is complimented by an integrated enhancement programme of outdoor and indoor sports and activities.
  This varied programme is designed to engage these young learners in an enjoyable, motivating and meaningful manner which is tuned to their specific needs and to prepare them practically for the consequences of whichever legal outcome awaits them.
