The Three-Day Assessment to Offer of Place
Once the prospective student has confirmed that they want their application to go forward, it is then reviewed and discussed by the college's admissions panel.
If the panel agrees that the college may be able to meet the student's educational and support needs, they will invite the student to return for a three-day assessment.
The purpose of the three day assessment is to determine whether the college can provide for the young person's educational and support needs and to allow them to decide whether the college is where they really want to be.
During the daytime the student will be timetabled for a number of assessment sessions.
Some sessions will be craft and land work activities and some will be specific assessments to help determine the student's communication needs, lanuage and literacy levels, and movement and motor skills.
The assessment will also include two nights in one of the college's residential households, where the student will take part in domestic routines and leisure activities.
At the end of the three days, all the individua assessment reports are collated and a final assessment report is produced.
This is then reviewed and discussed by the college admissions panel who decide whether they can meet the applicant's needs and thus whether they are able to offer a place.
