THE SPECIFIC NEEDS COLLEGE
The Canterbury Academy is a comprehensive sixth form for all talents.
The Specific Needs College is designed for students who need guidance and support to bring out their best.
This covers a broad range of support, training and development programmes for all levels of learners.
In the Sixth Form we provide 'as much as possible, as often as possible, for as many as possible', so that every individual has the opportunity to build on their own unique talents and achieve success.
Operating from a variety of sites, the provision available covers and supports the needs of all students. Where there is a need to travel minibuses ferry students to and from the main Canterbury campus to all of the offsite venues.
The Specific Needs College is intended to accommodate learners and to provide a personalised pathway for them whilst enabling them to be part of a lively and exciting sixth form.
