Carshalton College continues to be committed to providing training and work experience opportunities for students with learning difficulties and/or disabilities. The focus of our study programmes is to embed independence and employability skills to enable our learners to secure positive and meaningful progression, be that into independent living, or into the workplace through vocational study within other specialist areas across the College. Aspirations for ultimate workplace progression include both voluntary and paid employment. The provision at Carshalton College includes a shop run by our students and weekly attendance at an external allotment.

All our programmes are individually tailored around the student. Attendance can be flexible between 1 and five 5 days per week depending on the pathway selected.
