A very warm welcome to Valley College, situated on Ewood Campus. I am delighted
to be Head of Valley College , an educational environment which is focused on
its mission statement 'Preparation for Adulthood, Citizenship and Employment'
(PACE). It is so important to ensure all learners gain the knowledge, skills and
understanding they need to lead confident, healthy, independent lives, and
become informed, active and responsible citizens in society. Having been
appointed as Head of Valley College and Ewood Campus in September 2021, I would
like to share some information about the provision for Valley College learners.
Valley College learners are supported by skilled and familiar staff and
alongside their advocates, create a bespoke individualised pathway to ensure
future aspirations are achieved. Learners are encouraged to take part in a wide
range of activities across and beyond the curriculum, contributing fully to the
life of the college and their communities. Learners have the opportunity to
reflect on their experiences and understand how they are developing personally
and socially, tackling many of the spiritual, moral, social and cultural issues
that are part of growing into adulthood. Within Valley College, learners are
able to develop new skills and access the community, and sessions are focused on
preparing learners for adult life. Valley College ensures all learners leave
with relevant qualifications (if appropriate) and gain their desired aspiration
destination. We work together with our learners to increase their independence,
so they can take more control over their lives. Valley College is a friendly
place where learners can develop interests and gradually gain the skills and
confidence they need to move on to the next stage of their lives, preparing them
for adulthood, citizenship and employability.
