School Partnerships

We work closely with several local schools to ensure a smooth transition from secondary to further education, this includes our School Link Programme and working with our feeder schools.  

Students at our feeder schools will have lots of opportunities to meet us to find out more about the College and options available to them at assemblies, information evenings, open events and taster days.  

What is offered during School Links Programme? 

Year 11 students will attend weekly sessions in either Hair & Beauty or Construction. This provides students with an opportunity to receive a recognised Level 1 qualification with us before the finish school. 

These are run by our fantastic staffing team, who accommodate all the student’s needs.
