At John Dewey Specialist College, we cater for young adults aged 19-25 who have severe, complex or profound learning difficulties and physical disabilities. Our programmes enable learners to develop the skills and knowledge they most need as they move into adulthood. We offer a broad and balanced curriculum, including basic skills, independent living, employability and the creative arts. Our learners benefit from a holistic approach that places the individual at the heart of their learning programme with wraparound support from our multi-disciplinary team.
