Our Courses

All Courses

Any course, any combination

From the first time we see an application our aim is to create a programme of study in line with each student’s past achievements, aptitudes, interests and ambitions for the future.

We work with each student to create an individual programme of study, building on the experiences gained at their previous school or college, and ensuring a balance between examination courses, enrichment activities, study time and leisure.

The overwhelming majority of our students are enrolled on a two-year level three programme and we offer the most extensive range of level three courses in the local area.

An Advanced Transition programme may be available at enrolment to students who hold an offer but narrowly miss the necessary advanced level entry criteria. We also offer a Progression Support ESOL programme for students who clearly demonstrate the potential for advanced level study but, at the time of application have had insufficient time in Key Stage 4 to develop the underpinning language skills to enable immediate progression to advanced level.
