Maths & English
As maths and English skills are essential for the workplace and university, we want to make sure your child can achieve these core qualifications. If needed, your child can re-sit their GCSE or work towards a Functional Skills qualification alongside their main course.
Our courses
We offer four different types of course for school leavers. We will work with you and your child to make sure they get onto the course that is right for them.

Work experience and enrichment
We will encourage your child to take part in a work experience that is relevant to their chosen career.
Our strong connections with national and local businesses mean your child will also benefit from workplace trips and industry visits, opportunities to work on employer-led live briefs and visits from industry experts.
We also want your child to have fun and gain new life skills through enrichment activities, including skills competitions, team building trips, fundraising events and competitive sports.
