Entry Level Programmes

Development and Access Programmes

These entry level courses are mainly for students

with no GCSEs, and predominantly for those with

an EHCP.

The Independence Course

For students with a high level of learning needs,

eg. SLD/ASD.

We have sent over 1000 students to university, including Oxbridge and Russell groups.

Our provision for high needs has been graded ‘Good’ by Ofsted for the previous 3 inspections.

We contribute hundreds of students to the work force each year who have the relevant skills and knowledge through our carefully allocated work experience placements.
