landmarks specialist college
London
Landmarks started to offer day services and post-16 education in March 1995,
where the curriculum was largely practical and land-based, working in farm
buildings in Creswell, Derbyshire. Since that time Landmarks has grown and
developed its educational offer so that by the time of writing this welcome,
Landmarks supports over 150 post-16 and day service Learners, all of whom learn
a variety of essential life skills from our five sites located across the East
Midlands and South Yorkshire. We have changed our curriculum from purely land
and animal-based to include several vocational subjects such as; hospitality,
catering, cookery, retail, administration and labouring. These additional
subjects support our learners to make informed choices about the type of
vocations they would like to follow. College life at Landmarks involves being
taught in practical, real-life situations, whilst being supported by highly
trained and experienced staff who are experts in working with learners with
additional needs. It is important for me, as it is for my team, that whilst
learners are with us, they focus on developing knowledge, skills and behaviour
that makes a real difference to their lives. I hope from reading the case
studies and outcomes featured within this website, you can see what difference
that focus has made to our learners’ lives. I am extremely proud of all our
learners’ achievements, either becoming more independent so that they can attend
activities they enjoy or securing employment for the first time in their lives.
Indeed, we are so keen to support our learners that when you leave Landmarks,
should you need support to maintain employment or seek advice you can contact
our dedicated ‘After College, Aftercare’ team. I do trust that you will enjoy
exploring our website and getting to know us a little better. Of course, it is
only by visiting Landmarks that you will truly get a feel for the place. Whilst
we run regular open events, please feel free to contact our learner recruitment
team, who can organise a visit just for you, so you get a perfect opportunity to
ask all the questions you have about learning at Landmarks. Also, we are always
keen to hear from like-minded colleagues from other institutions, or from those
interested in working with us in the future. Please do not hesitate to contact
us should you wish to know more.
