Young People
Study Programme
All young people at the College follow a Study Programme – a personalised learning programme which supports your development and helps you to achieve your goals for work and life.
A limited number of places are also available on courses for young people under the age of 16, as an alternative to school. This must be with the approval of the young person’s school (or LEA) and parent or guardian.
Your study programme will consist of a vocational study area, English & Maths, Employability & Work Experience and Enrichment.
