Our Curriculum

Landmarks Specialist College has a curriculum that is engineered to meet the longer term needs of our learners.

It is not just about the journey, but the destination and as a learner of Landmarks, you will be supported to develop the skills you need to lead the adult life you want. ‘Managers have ensured that study programmes are carefully designed to meet the needs of each learner’. (Ofsted 2018)

We work closely with all learners and their families to create a truly individualised study programme, that is full of practical, real-world learning experiences. ‘…tutors enable learners to make good progress by identifying the smaller steps that learners need to achieve to meet their long-term goals. (Ofsted 2018)

Landmarks curriculum is very practical, one day you could be climbing as part of your Duke of Edinburgh Award, the next preparing meals at our Bistro or Pub, or working with one of our many employer partners who treat you like adults and work with you to master the skills you need for your future, whether that is to access your home local community to make friends access further education or secure employment for the first time.

We have a number of qualifications that you can study, and we have a number of different ways in which you can learn with us. For more information please contact Learner Recruitment at recruitment@landmarks.ac.uk or call us on 01246 433788.
