Progression Studies
The Progression Studies study programme provides a progression route to employment, vocational study and/or apprenticeships for individuals with additional support needs and/or barriers to learning.
Programmes aim to equip students with the skills, confidence and independence required for successful progression by providing a highly supportive learning environment and diverse, exciting curriculum. Students are provided with a high level of support and guidance, and encouraged to set themselves challenging, achievable goals in order for their aspirations to be achieved.
Access to a wide range of resources and facilities provide exciting opportunities for students to develop their skills in an active environment. Students are well supported to make informed decisions regarding their next steps.
Students will work towards completion of a Gateway, Level 1 Certificate in Vocational Skills, in addition to English and maths (as appropriate).
We are still accepting late enrolments across most of our subject areas for both school leavers and adult learners.
