General Description
We are an innovative and creative college for young adults age 19 to 25 with special educational needs and disabilities. We put students at the heart of the learning experience, providing an environment where everyone can progress and gain new skills.
Life at St Piers isn’t just about classroom learning. We help each learner to build their imaginative power, confidence and independence, giving them every opportunity them to fulfil their potential. We offer outdoor activities to promote a healthy lifestyle and our Imaginarium provides a space for creative flair and immersive sensory experiences.
From the moment students arrive at St Piers College, they are supported to progress as learners and as a unique individuals.
