At the heart of College life is the amazing students and the wonderful things they are achieving with the support of a dedicated staff team across education, care, therapy and clinical programmes. College Principal, Adrian Sugden said “We have helped students find their voice when they thought they couldn’t communicate, take steps when it was thought they would always be wheelchair users and find employment when no one thought they could work. We won’t accept any perceived limitations to stop us from Building Confidence, Developing Independence and Supporting Achievement for our students.” Kate’s daughter, Tess was a student at Henshaws and she speaks about the positive impact that the College had on her “In her time at Henshaws we have watched Tess grow in confidence. We have seen her acquire new skills which she has been able and willing to transfer because she truly recognises that they enhance her life. She has become an independent young woman with not only a greatly increased vocabulary, but a genuine desire to use it. “At Henshaws Tess has been safe, accepted, challenged, encouraged and happy. What a package! We have exchanged and enjoyed amazing communication with a team of people who have sought out, welcomed and valued our input and who have supported Tess superbly every step of the way.” The College were delighted with their recent inspection by the Care Quality Commission where they achieved an ‘outstanding’ area of practice and an overall ‘good’ rating. This followed on from a ‘good’ Ofsted rating in 2018.
