About Us

Bankside College is a small specialist setting that provides nurturing and therapeutic post 16 education to autistic young people that are working towards academic & vocational qualifications. Through enacting our values of growth, resilience & respect our vision is to create a safe and supportive environment where every young person feels valued, builds confidence, achieves their potential, and develops the skills needed to succeed in life.

Located in the beautiful Malvern hills we cater for young people requiring a nurturing and calm environment in order to achieve formal Level 1/2/3 vocational qualifications. All students follow a personalised curriculum selecting from a variety of subject options to suit individual strengths & preferences. A significant part of this curriculum offer is the broader enrichment and personal development provision which includes careers, PSHE, cooking and well-being activities.
