Derwen College Mission Statement
Derwen College is an Ofsted Outstanding college. With its main site in Gobowen, and three other satellite sites at Higher Penley (Ashdale House), Craven Arms and Walford you will have the opportunity to learn new skills in real work environments.
You will also have an unique opportunity to work in our restaurant, cafe, print shop or garden centre (depending on your pathway area). During these work placements you will learn the work skills you need for the world beyond college
Outside work you will live in one of the on-site student accommodations, working with staff and other students to learn independence and social skills. Leisure activities will keep you busy in the evenings and at the weekends as you can join the many clubs, sports activities and trips that happen every week at Derwen College.
All our staff are highly trained and committed to making sure you achieve your full potential educationally, vocationally and socially. We are sure you will have a great time at Derwen College and when you leave us you will have the confidence and skills to move forward with your dreams and aspirations.
