Langdon College | What Our Students Say

My Life at Langdon

I came to Langdon College in 2004. I was so happy when I heard that I was going to a Jewish Special needs college for people who have learning difficulties. I stayed at Tewkesbury Drive which was very nice and a very good experience to live away from home. Langdon College provides a good education that suits individuals. Over the last three years I have gained more confidence in everything I have done. I have learnt to be more sociable and been more independent by having a lesson called Independent Living Skills. I have learnt to clean, cook, iron, and been able to travel around by myself. This year I have achieved a qualification in ICT and Skills for Life. I have really enjoyed being here.

My Experience of Langdon College - by Corinne Weisbein

I have been at Langdon College for 3 years now I started in 2004. I have made friends and have a boyfriend. When I started I was really nervous but I eventually grew in confidence. I did a work placement in Marks and Spencer's in Prestwich in my 1^st year when I finished Marks and Spencer's I worked in Woolworths in Cheetham Hill. When I finished my work placement in Woolworths I did a work placement in Sainsbury's in Middleton. I used to live in Tewkesbury Drive with 4 other girls and 1 boy. Now I live in a Semi-independent flat.

In my 1^st year the sessions I had were cookery, Basic Skills, ILS, PHSE and ICT. The sessions I had in my 2^nd year was IT, cookery, Skills for life, ILS, and the sessions in my 3^rd year was Sports, Skills for life, IT, Community access, Team Enterprise and cookery. My favourite session at Langdon College is cookery because I like making biscuits and cakes especially with chocolate!

By Kate Landau

I have been here for 3 years. I have enjoyed it here at Langdon College. I have learnt a lot of things like how to use the oven using oven gloves.

In my second year I did a childcare course and I enjoyed it and I passed the exam. I got a distinction.

I am hoping that next year I will be able to carry on at Bury College on a higher level childcare course.

I have made lots of friends and I have met lots of new people.

I have been going to work experience at Happy Tots and King David and worked with children.

The activities have been fun and I enjoyed going out on the weekends and weekdays to lots of places.

My favourite sessions at Langdon College have been ICT, cookery, ILS and skills for life.
I have also enjoyed going swimming and going to the gym.

I have achieved so much over the 3 years.

I would like to say thank you to all the staff and support staff at Langdon College.
