Specialist facilities
Intensive education, social and individual development programmes for students who require more personal tuition and who find group situations difficult to cope with. We help individuals to develop strategies for coping with anxieties and dealing with situations that may lead to demanding behaviour and otherwise limit their options.
Support services provided
Each student has a learning support worker to act as a mentor, guide and carer. They ensure that the student’s programme meets their needs and capitalises on their strengths and weaknesses. A combination of evidence based therapies are offered to students at Priory Coleg Wales to help them with their ongoing personal development. Therapies include art therapy, speech and language therapy and counselling. This integrated programme of therapy promotes a consistent approach to social communication and helps students to raise awareness of their individual difficulties, the effect on others and provides clear information and useful strategies for communication in adulthood.
Education
The philosophy of Priory Coleg Wales is based upon providing as many learning opportunities within mainstream educational settings as possible to allow choice, equality and diversity. Our young people are able to benefit from successful partnership agreements with local colleges and have access to over 150 academic and vocational courses including A levels and GCSEs. Work based learning, work experience and employability skills are embedded into the study programmes to help with transition and preparation for further study or employment.
Work experience
Many students will choose to combine courses in work-based learning with their academic studies. We work in close collaboration with local employers and the local communities to provide constructive work experience for our young people, and to help in the development of their independence.
Aims and philosophy
Priory Coleg Wales enables students to achieve their learning goals, whilst helping them to grow as individuals, gaining confidence in their abilities and accepting the complexities of Asperger’s Syndrome. Our vision is to be a centre of excellence which promotes a positive understanding of Asperger’s Syndrome and enables students to recognise their potential for independence and success. From the outset students will be encouraged to make informed choices and decisions about their future.
