Students are encouraged to take part in visits to local Further Education providers and job and careers fairs, and are able to take part in sessions run by external careers consultants. Our curriculum is heavily STEM-based, and this gives our students the opportunity to learn how the different STEM subjects help people to gain entry to, and be more effective workers within, a wide range of careers.
We strive to ensure that students leave us not only equipped for life in terms of qualifications but with the practical skills they need to live happy, fulfilled and independent lives.
