LANGDON COLLEGE  

Langdon College, based in Manchester, provides a diverse range of courses for up to 30 students with mild to moderate learning disabilities on a residential or day student basis. Students are supported by a high ratio of staff (1:3 or, where required, 1:1) who offer guidance, support and encouragement in their personal, social, emotional and academic development.


Excellent links with local colleges and Jewish organisations ensure an appropriate response to each student's educational, vocational, social and religious needs. Individual day or residential College programmes are available for 38 weeks a year for up to three years. These are regularly reviewed to ensure student needs are being met.



"Langdon College focuses on the development of confident and competent young people able to play a full and active role in the economic and cultural life of their community on leaving the College."

As quoted by OFSTED, November 2006 Grade 2, Good in all areas.

The College's residential programme is funded on an extended curriculum basis, incorporating courses in independent living skills, vocational training, work experience and social development opportunities. Skills for Life in literacy, numeracy, communication and ICT are an integral part of all the programmes offered, alongside personal health, social and recreational activities.

For many, the College is their first taste of being treated as an independent adult and, on completing their three-year course, most ex-students progress naturally to Langdon’s supported living environment.
