General Description of College:
Pennine Camphill Community supports a specialist college of further education offering young people with special needs the opportunity to develop skills for the next stages of their lives. We are situated on the southern outskirts of Wakefield in West Yorkshire.
The College offers residential and day places. Residential students live in the five houses on the campus in extended family units, where everyone shares the daily household tasks and social life. There are inclusive facilities for day students, who are based within the houses.

The Curriculum:
Pennine offers a broad range of activities that include cooking, baking, woodwork, weaving, pottery, basket making, farming, gardening, estate management and horse riding with horse care. We can offer progression pathways that will give a range of options including employability skills, functional skills and personal and social development. The assessment and delivery of these is embedded in all College activities. We are registered to deliver ASDAN programmes and NVQ awards.
