Our Dawlish campus is situated in the coastal town of Dawlish near Exeter. It is
a short walk from the town centre and the golden beach, with excellent transport
links via bus or the Great western train line to Exeter, Plymouth and beyond. At
Dawlish we provide learning programmes for around 80 learners, a small number of
whom enjoy the residential experience in our onsite shared property, and in
single and shared flats and houses in the nearby area. Our Torpoint campus is
situated just a short walk from the ferryport and enjoys beautiful views of the
River Tamar and beyond. We attract learners from both Plymouth and Cornwall to
study here. Students benefit from accessing our local Torpoint community, but
also take part in the huge range of trips and activities that Plymouth has to
offer. At Oakwood Torpoint we provide learning for up to 25 learners. Torpoint
is a day student only campus. Our newest campus, Oakwood Yate, is located in
Yate, South Glos. with excellent transport links to Bristol and beyond. The
campus benefits from being centrally located in the bustling town centre of Yate
with a wide range of shops and leisure facilities providing excellent work
experience and community access for our learners. At Oakwood Yate we provide
learning for up to 15 learners. Yate is a day student only campus. The College’s
focus is to develop the knowledge and skills of every learner to prepare them
for independent life, living and work. We provide individualised and bespoke
learning programmes that follow the pathways to adulthood, and include
employment related qualifications and work experience. The College was inspected
by OFSTED in September 2018, and judged to be good in all areas and Outstanding
for Personal Development, Behaviour and Welfare (PDBW), with inspectors
describing the learners as…” making excellent progress in their personal
development and behaviour. They gain skills that can help them to be more
independent in their daily lives”.
