Penryn College ARB
Penryn College’s ARB offers an adapted curriculum for students with EHCPs, with specialist support and appropriate access to mainstream learning. Individual pathways may incorporate GCSEs or Entry Level qualifications. The curriculum includes preparation for adulthood and post-16 education; this does not mean the ARB itself offers post-16 places. The school commissions places through the local authority annual review process.
