WELCOME TO THE WESTMINSTER SPECIALIST COLLEGE
The Westminster Specialist College (SPI) provides specialist education for young people aged 19 – 25 who have a primary diagnosis of Moderate Learning Difficulty as defined in their Education Health and Care Plan (EHCP). The provision is focused predominantly on Employability and therefore students must be able to demonstrate a realistic trajectory and ambition to enter into employment. We currently have 12 students on roll which is set to increase over the coming years. In line with our admissions criteria, we will be able to take students from the Black Country conurbation (Sandwell, Dudley, Walsall, Wolverhampton and Birmingham).
The College provides a highly differentiated programme of study for young people with flexible, bespoke and personalised courses which allow our students to develop skills which will help them to prepare for adulthood, access the wider community, develop independent living skills and move into further education or employment. We offer a holistic learning environment with specially trained staff and resources to best support the needs of our young people. We continuously strive to achieve the best outcomes for young people as they begin to transition into an independent adult life. This is achieved through harnessing business and community links and being on the forefront of innovation within Special Needs Education.
Our Values which underpin everything that we do are to be:
• Safe Happy and Working Together
• Student Voice and Student Choice
