Strategies
Leadership & Management
The strategy intent of Craftworks College and The Brogdale CIC Group is to create community bases where young people and adults with disabilities can access education that enhances learning and opportunities to gain qualifications, life skills, and positive social care activities. Attendees can also participate in youth clubs and activities that provide social connections. For adults, there are opportunities to take part in job roles that could lead to
volunteering, enhancing personal skills, and forming lasting friendships.
Where the community can be part of the solution in building support systems, integrating people from different backgrounds, abilities and needs.
Quality of Education
The strategy intent for Quality of Education is to prepare our students for their next steps from adolescence. The College expects to see all our students progress to play a meaningful role in their communities. The College understands that in order to build a young person ready to take on the challenges of adulthood, they need a wide range of academic skills and knowledge, including confidence in their English and Maths abilities, as well as positive attitudes and behaviours and more beyond the academic. We believe that education can powerfully address social disadvantage and it is the belief of Craftworks College that to have an impact in all these areas in a young person’s life, education will be the centre-point for success.
Behaviour &Attitudes
The strategy intent focuses on developing appropriate behaviour and attitudes for students that our education system has agreed upon either by consensus or statute. In order to do this we intend to incorporate the SEN Code of Practice, Green Paper and Local data paying particular attention to the areas that are specifically relevant to behaviour and attitudes.
Personal development
The strategy intent focus is on the most significant dimensions of the personal development of students that our education system has agreed either by consensus or statute. We incorporate the SEN Code of Practice and Preparing for Adulthood Government Guidance, as well as consultation with the Department for Work and Pension to understand the local need for skills to gain employment.
