<p /> <p>The Secure College in Leicestershire will be the first of a new generation
of secure educational establishments which will put education at the heart of youth
custody. It will inform our vision for the future of the youth custodial estate across
England and Wales.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>Education provision will be tailored
to the particular needs of young people in custody. We anticipate Secure Colleges
providing a strong focus on the core skills, such as literacy and numeracy, which
all young people need, but with sufficient flexibility for vocational training and
workplace skills to develop those offenders seeking employment on release. We would
want to afford operators the same freedoms as academies, to personalise learning pathways
and target intervention.</p><p> </p><p>The Secure College Pathfinder operator will
make continuous assessment of young people to ensure that they progress towards the
targets set out in their individual plans.</p><p> </p>
