Empowering Futures for Special School Leavers and Beyond

Beaumont College – Where Every Journey Matters

At Beaumont College, we're proud to support special school leavers—particularly those with complex autism, learning difficulties, and social, emotional, or communication challenges—as they transition into adulthood. Our tailored pathways focus on each student's unique needs, enabling them to build fulfilling, independent lives.

Our students may communicate in different ways—some with strong language skills, others through alternative methods. Many have developed lifelong strategies to be heard, but these may not always serve them well in adulthood. That's where you come in.

Working as part of a multidisciplinary team, you'll help young people develop positive, effective ways to express themselves. You'll support them to feel heard, understood, and empowered, reducing the need for unhelpful behaviours and building a future grounded in confidence, dignity, and respect.

• Supportive: Helping everyone reach their full potential.
• Ambitious: Striving for the best outcomes.
