Flourish FE was established in direct response to a gap in local provision identified through consultation with Knowsley Borough Council and a small group of dedicated parents. At the time, there was no specialist Further Education (FE) setting in-borough that could meet the complex needs of young people with Education, Health and Care Plans (EHCPs) transitioning beyond the age of 19. As a result, learners were routinely travelling out of borough — a daily round trip of approximately 36 miles — to access appropriate provision.
