About the students
Cambian Wing College is a specialist further education college offering both day and 38-52 week residential placements. We provide holistic education for young people aged 16-25 years, with high-functioning autism and complex needs. Many of our students can display challenging behaviour and may also suffer with mental health conditions that impact their ability to achieve their potential.
We provide robust therapeutic support alongside our students’ academic/ vocational programmes to enable them to gain the life skills, qualifications and employability qualities to ensure the greatest opportunity of successful outcomes (regardless of their starting point) and the chance to truly thrive.

Curriculum
At Cambian Wing College, learners are supported to achieve individual, realistic goals by building upon experiences and skills.
Our study programmes include a broad range of learning opportunities and work based learning experiences, that challenge and extend learners skills and knowledge. Based on each student’s ability and ambitions, these programmes are designed to include a broad range of academic and vocational learning opportunities, alongside work based learning, enrichment and tutorial.
These include core skills, academic and vocational pathways range from Entry Level and Functional Skills to GCSEs and A-Levels, plus we offer personal development opportunities and a comprehensive work related learning and work experience programme.
We recognise that students with additional needs may require support that is not ordinarily available. With this in mind, teaching groups are usually no larger than six students and support is provided by specialist education, care and therapy staff. All environments are carefully designed to provide the best possible sensory environment to encourage engagement and learning.
We believe that our students are most successful when their education is supported by their whole family. We are committed to maintaining communication with parents/carers through Weekly Home Links, End of Term Reports, and quarterly and Annual Reviews.
Specialist facilities
When at college, our students benefit from a wide range of therapy and care services including sensory spaces, allotments, gardens, a music room, health and fitness areas and ‘chill out’ space. All of our staff are fully trained to meet the needs of young people with high-functionaing autism and can access support from our in-house clinical team which includes a mental health practitioner, consultant psychiatrist, clinical psychologist, speech and language therapist and occupational therapists.
