Destinations Post 19

Our leavers have transitioned very successfully to a number of colleges in recent years.

Cheadle and Marple College; Choices Course and a Supported Internship
Seashell College
David Lewis College
Bridge College
Aquinas College

Cheadle & Marple and Aquinas College are our first destinations for most students as long as they can meet the individual students needs. If local colleges cannot meet need, then independent providers such as Seashell College will assess students.

Each year Heaton School meets with the local authority, local and specialist colleges to discuss the young people leaving school, in order to begin the assessment of need and have professional conversations around suitable post 19 provision., This is called the high needs assessment panel. If local colleges and school agree that a students needs could be met locally a formal assessment period will follow to further ascertain this. Information regarding this will be shared at the annual EHCP reviews with school, parents or carers.

It is essential that parents visit colleges while students are in year 13 prior to the high needs assessment panels commencing so they are prepared with information about each offer. Contact details and course information can be found below.
