We understand that residential colleges can never replace home but we make every effort to create a welcoming, family environment where learners feel safe and comfortable, and have all the facilities they may need.
At Cambian Dilston College we are lucky enough to have an amazing environment in which to teach and care for our students. Our college buildings are surrounded by 9 acres of grounds which provide not only a unique teaching setting but also the back drop to providing a gentle, caring, therapeutic environment for students to enjoy, relax and develop within.
Both our main building and the cottages within the grounds provide a broad variey of accommodations for students. Our living spaces offer students large communal lounges and communal rooms, and fully equipped kitchens with modern appliances. Student bedrooms are clean, well decorated and furnished to a high standard, with en-suite bathrooms. Students are encouraged and supported to personalise their room to make them feel they are truly staying in a 'home from home'.
The accomodations are designed to offer lovely views of the greenery, woodland, beautiful trees and gardens surrounding the college environment.
Our student accommodation provides individuals with the opportunity to experience living away from home and developing skills for independence such as cooking, shopping, doing laundry, supported travel training and community awareness. Gaining these skills will enhance their experience of moving onto Independent Supported Living if they choose this as a future option.
Most students will live together in small groups with the support of designated Residential staff. Some students may live individually to meet their needs.
