Welcome
Poplar College is an exciting, new post-16 provision that is situated near Chippenham town centre. This is an excellent location and we are a valued part of the local community.
Our curriculum is based on the four Preparing for Adulthood (PfA) outcomes outlined by the Department for Education; Employment, Health, Independent living and Community Participation.
We strive to do our very best in preparing each of our young people for adulthood and we take every opportunity to equip them with the necessary skills, allowing them to become responsible citizens who can make a positive contribution to society. We support each of our young people in becoming confident individuals who are physically, emotionally and socially healthy. We also introduce our young people to new activities and personal challenges, allowing them each to develop into confident, inspirational young adults.
Each young person follows a personalised learning programme which is built up of a range of qualifications, vocational learning, work experience opportunities and therapeutic/sensory input. We accredit most of our learning through ASDAN, a nationally recognised awarding body. We offer a range of ASDAN qualifications including Personal and Social Development and Personal Progress. These qualifications support the delivery of our Preparing for Adulthood Curriculum.
