Blackburn College
Blackburn College provides an inclusive learning environment, which meets the needs of all students including those with SEND. The college has exceptional achievement rates for students with SEND, due to the highly effective, specialist support which enables full engagement in education and social aspects of college life.
We have high expectations for all students and advocate for independence and use learner strengths to support all aspects of learning. At Blackburn College all students are given the opportunity to complete work placements and participate in college enrichment activities.
