Gateway College Independent Living Facility

Our students here at Gateway College are able to test out living away from home during twilight sessions and overnight stays in an independent living facility on our campus.

We provide a tailored curriculum for each student learning independent living skills via the Broadview Flat programme or PSE. The curriculum emerges from the person centred planning in which each student and their parent/carers takes part in a Citizenship Review.

The process identifies the skills that students need to live independently and reflects their wider hopes and aspirations for their future life.

The approach is part of a wider drive in Leicester to introduce person centred approaches in schools and local services, and to reduce reliance on residential care and promote independent living.
