Fosse Way School

Students will have a personalised timetable of work experience during their time in post-16 and often access work experience opportunities daily. Placements vary widely and may include being involved in a class led business, supported placements internally or externally as well as independent placements in the community. We also have a ‘famous’ onsite training café called Longfellow’s which many of our students volunteer in. Do check out our film on Facebook!

Our curriculum promotes the development of independence at all levels and abilities. This may include teaching students to make their own choices, personal care skills, travel training, looking after the home, developing the skills to live independently later in life, and managing their own emotions. Students are regularly taught out in the local community and in our onsite training flat.

We have a strong sense of community at Fosse Way School and we teach our students to have the same. We access many local community facilities and build relationships with many local companies, especially to enhance our work placements. We teach our students to become actively involved in their communities and every year each group sponsors a local charity. We believe it is important to support and broaden our student’s social development. To enable this, we regularly meet students from other local provisions for social events to encourage new social opportunities.
