Vocational Qualifications
The College also offers City & Guilds Level 2 Certificate in Children’s Care, Learning and Development and a Level 2 Diploma for IT Practitioner for those students who prefer to take a vocational route to further and higher education or employment. Students opting for these courses sit a range of OCR Business Professional examinations in Word Processing, Text Production, Mail Merge, Document Presentation and Business Presentations. Students also participate in the Young Enterprise Project.

All sixth form students follow a structured Personal and Social Development programme which includes Careers education, information, advice and guidance (CEIAG). The College ensures that sixth form students have opportunities to attend University Open Days, Careers Conventions and exhibitions relevant to UCAS applications. Our sixth form students make a significant contribution to the life of the school, as senior prefects and mentors, fund raising for charities as well as working in a range of areas such as pupil mentoring and Reading Buddies.
