Welcome to Bloom: Preparation for Adulthood at The Sheffield College

Bloom is our brand-new offer for students who may require a higher level of support

At Bloom we have developed an exciting curriculum offer for young people with a range of needs. Our dedicated and experienced team deliver the very best opportunities that help young people develop the skills that they require for independence and work.

We are delighted to have developed Bloom in consultation with schools, health professionals, carers, and a range of partners to ensure we are able to meet the needs of young people in Sheffield and beyond. Young people who study with us at Bloom would usually have an Education, Health and Care Plan and will receive expert support to help them reach their goals.

Our pathways offer a wealth of opportunities for sport, enrichment, and learning outside the classroom, including a wide range of trips and visits locally and across the region. Learners get the chance to pracitce their independent travel as well as develop social and other key skills on their journey into adulthood. We offer a residential where students are encouraged to take part in activities, which they may find challenging or outside their comfort zone.

The provision for all of the Bloom pathways is for four days per week.

The aim of the Bloom pathways are to support learners in preparing for adulthood. The focus of our programmes is to help students:

• develop their employability skills
• become active citizens within their community
• progress communication skills
• develop independent living skills and be equipped to make informed choices about a healthy lifestyle
• develop functional English and maths skills

Bloom is available for young people at our Hillsborough and Peaks Campuses in Sheffield where students will study in a safe and supportive environment.

We look forward to welcoming you.
