Treloar Trust offers outstanding teaching, learning, professional care, therapy, advice and guidance so that every individual can achieve and work towards a future that is as independent as possible. Treloar School and Treloar College offer specialist environments where learning takes place alongside therapy and care. Our students are physically disabled with complex needs. Mainstream schools and colleges cannot provide the support they need to achieve their goals. Our vision: a world where physically disabled young people take control of their lives and achieve their aspirations. Our mission is to enable physically disabled young people to achieve their aspirations by: providing personalised learning, therapy and care, supporting transition into adulthood, promoting independence and inclusion. We are inclusive. Everyone, regardless of physical ability, where they live or socioeconomic background, should have the opportunity to take part in life. We act with integrity and respect. Physically disabled young people should be free to direct their own lives. We listen to young people's views and support them to make age-appropriate choices about their daily life and informed choices about their future. We celebrate and promote diversity, value and support each other, and treat everyone with mutual respect. We support a culture of openness, honesty and transparency, where the safeguarding of our students and wellbeing of our staff is paramount. We strive for excellence. Physically disabled young people and their families deserve outstanding care and support. We work to make sure all our services are excellent and actively challenge each other to ensure continuous quality improvement. Skills Builder complements our academic offer and focusses or students on developing and recognising their strengths and essential skills.

Skills Builder has helped us to acknowledge and raise awareness of the essential skills. Students are able to recognise their strengths and how they are demonstrating the essential skills in everyday college life. As we reinforce the language of the essential skills and Universal Framework, students are able to see clearly how these skills transfer to the workplace, and life after Treloar's. Our celebration assembly each week is a highlight and students love to share the success of others. The Skills Builder Univeral Framework has supported staff to deliver focussed sessions that are helpful for students and enables them to progress.

We are expanding Skills Builder to include 2 additional classes from our Skills for Independence cohort due to the success of the 2 previous years embedding Skills Builder in our curriculum. We will continue to recognise achievement weekly. We intend to track the achievement of essential skills using Databridge, our management information system and produce reports/tracking documents to support student development.
