Department Newsletter
Welcome
Greetings from the Foundation Learning Department at Selby College!
I am thrilled to welcome you to read our departmental newsletter. I hope you enjoy reading about the amazing things that happen within our Foundation Learning Department.
Our main focus is to provide our students with the core skills and confidence which will prepare them for their next steps in life. That’s why we arrange for our students to take part in a rich variety of activities and experiences alongside their learning to ensure they can successfully progress onto their next steps.
We also believe in the power of real stories to inspire and guide. That’s why you will be able to read about some of our student success stories in this newsletter, including some of our current and former students.

Welcoming Spaces
We’re lucky to have an onsite communal garden which, as a Foundation Learning student, you will spend a lot of time in.
As part of a National Citizen Service community project through Club Doncaster Foundation, our
Foundation Learning students worked together to refurbish the gardens. The students helped to paint the garden’s shed, remove weeds and plant flowers, whilst gaining important skills such as team building, communication and leadership.
Trips and Activities
Students have the opportunity to take part in a number of exciting trips and visits as part of their course. Our students have enjoyed trips to Bridlington, Flamingo Land, Yorkshire
Wildlife Park and more, as well as taking part in a Graffiti and spray paint workshop delivered by Graffiti Stars, one of the UK’s biggest Graffiti companies!
