Welcome to post-16 at Blackfriars Academy. We are a small, very bespoke provision that is deeply committed to supporting our learners into adulthood, by focussing on individualised Preparation for Adulthood outcomes. 

There are lots of opportunities for our Post 16 learners to get out and about in the community and to undertake Community Projects such as our café, our Online shop and Bring and Buy Sales that they run. 

Our Post 16 learners will continue to benefit from the great physical provision of our hydro pool and rebound. For those with particular support needs that require intensive therapeutic support, they will be able to access physio, speech and language, VI and HI support, Music therapy, Clinical Psychology support and sensory regulation activities. 

We believe passionately in recognising the achievements and progress our learners have made in their school journey so far, and extending these further as they move into adulthood. We offer a broad balance of learning opportunities, which can culminate in an ASDAN Personal and Social Development qualification but most importantly, in the awarding of the Blackfriars Baccalaureate at Bronze, Silver or Gold level.
