This consists of your main qualification, a work placement, English and Maths GCSE
qualifications (subject to grades achieved), and personal development through enrichment
activities and employability skills.
Enrichment
We encourage you to get involved with the college’s
enrichment programme, which allows you to make
friends and try new experiences as well as develop skills
which can enhance your CV or UCAS application.
Activities on offer include trips, visits, guest speakers,
sporting and recreational events.
See page 26 for more information.
English & Maths
English and Maths skills are vital for your future
education and employment.
If you do not achieve a grade 4 or above in GCSE
English or Maths you are required to study towards it
as part of your Study Programme.

This is a brilliant way to experience industry first-hand.

work placement. All placements provide valuable work
experience and put you one step closer to securing
employment when you finish college.
