Working with Schools

Transition is a time of uncertainty, and we are committed to addressing this with a person-centred proactive approach. We achieve this by proactively working together with the local specialist schools in West Northants and being available to meet with parents/carers.

We ensure a co-ordinated and smooth transition for students who choose to attend Spectrum, which includes our staff visiting the school to spend time with the staff and the student. Our contribution is warmly recognised and appreciated, as evidenced through the increasing number of young adults joining our provision.

We partner with Speakers for Schools to promote care as a career option, have derived weeklong projects with schools, hosted class and individual placement opportunities and regularly hosted visits by school staff and students.
