Our 2021 Prospectus is available now!
Our prospectus is distributed to partner schools in Leicester. Students at other schools may view the prospectus online.
Information and guidance
Through your school you will receive information and guidance about the options available to you post-16. These may include visits or presentations from colleges and work-based learning representatives.
