MacIntyre ‘No Limits’ @ Homefield

Designed for students as a supportive gateway to Pathway 1.

What is MacIntyre ‘No Limits’ @ Homefield?

MacIntyre ‘No Limits’ @ Homefield is a partnership between Homefield College and MacIntyre. We work together to provide a post-16 course focused on meeting the needs of students unable to access main Pathway 1 provision currently, but with potential to do so in future.

Based at MacIntyre locations and community settings, students take steps towards independence in everyday life, gain skills and experiences that enhance access to meaningful day opportunities. They further their social, functional and communication skills in learning, living, work and community environments.

Who is it for?

The MacIntyre ‘No Limits’ @ Homefield programme is suitable for students who have complex communication and sensory needs greater than Pathway 1 capacity and so are not yet in a position to be able to access main Homefield provision.

Students on this programme should be working at around Milestone 4 and above academically, and have support level or community access requirements of 2:1 staffing.

Outcomes

Students are equipped with coping strategies, a range of interests and improved communication skills, along with increased independence.

Outcomes include progression to Pathway 1, Day Services and / or Supported Living, and decreased level of support by carers / families & ability to access community.
