ASDAN

For many students, coming to college is a big step. It is a transition which involves many changes, new levels of independence, and new responsibilities. It will mean students having a greater level of decision making as they progress towards a more independent way of learning and living.

Our pathways help students with Additional Learning Support needs progress to their next steps. Our specifically designed small group programmes are supported by our dedicated staff. Our team recognise the barriers that can be presented in transitioning to further education and will work with you individually to help you on your journey with Shrewsbury Colleges Group.
