Exploring Animals, Horticulture and Life Skills Entry Level 2 and 3

On completion of this course, you could progress onto Employability Plus, Supported Internship, or in some cases, the Towards Vocational Studies course.

The Animal, Horticulture and Life course is aimed at those students who require additional support (this could be in a range of ways), for example with social skills, building confidence and independence, developing study skills and insights into the Animal and Horticulture industry, before moving on to the next step in their journey. Students will gain specific and transferable work skills whilst exploring careers in the land-based industry and offers the opportunity to experience working with animals in a horticulture environment. Students will also undertake work experience in real working animal care and horticulture environments.

Explore the land-based industry and gain experience working with animals and in the horticulture environment. Working environments include working on a commercial farm, the extensive grounds, and our on-site animal care area. Students will be assessed on their progress throughout the year and will build an evidence portfolio. Includes sessions in English and Maths, Enrichment, Tutorials, Independent Living Skills and supported study. All of our programmes are underpinned with the opportunity to develop life skills, communication development and safety in the community. Much of the curriculum will be working towards individual targets and EHCP outcomes if applicable.
