At The Legacy Learning Trust, we place great emphasis on supporting learners as they progress through each stage of their educational journey. From the very beginning, learners are welcomed into an inclusive and nurturing environment where the whole child is understood and valued. This holistic approach ensures that each learner’s unique needs are recognised, fostering a strong sense of belonging, emotional security and self-worth.

As learners move through their educational experience, we are committed to equipping them with the confidence, knowledge and practical skills they need for a smooth transition—not only between key stages of learning, but also into further education, training and the world of work. Our Transition Curriculum is designed to support this growth by encouraging learners to embrace change, step beyond their comfort zones and see transition as an opportunity for new experiences and personal development.

Learners are introduced to a broad range of industries and career pathways. Opportunities such as careers fairs, employer encounters and guest speakers help them explore future options, understand the skills needed in the workplace and make informed decisions about their next steps. Work experience placements and career-focused visits provide learners with first-hand insight into professional environments, developing their confidence, aspirations and employability.

Throughout this journey, we prioritise the development of positive, trusting relationships—between learners, staff and families—ensuring that every learner feels supported and encouraged. Resilience, determination and self-motivation are cultivated through our curriculum, helping learners to face change with confidence and curiosity. Personalised guidance, workshops and post-16 transition support further empower learners to feel confident about the choices ahead.

By preparing learners not only for the next step in their education but for life beyond the classroom, we aim to instil in them the skills, values and mindset needed to thrive in the future.
