Hi, my name is Lorraine Jones and I’m the Lead Tutor at Beaumont College South Lakes. I could not be prouder of working for this College in the heart of the Ulverston community and the heart of South Lakes. We’re a college for special educational needs and disability, and we offer excellent opportunities, excellent education, care, and support. We provide a vibrant environment with diverse experiences and employability opportunities. Our students can engage in a variety of activities, from enterprise and employability projects to working at Cando FM, and even performing at the Laurel and Hardy Museum, which is the heart of Ulverston. We’re excited to be here and we’re excited to be expanding our provision in the South Lakes area.
