Eligibility and How to Apply
Schools & Providers
Referring your student to the provision is a requirement before a young person can start on a programme of learning with us. This ensures that we are fully informed on the students educational background, their needs and interests and any issues that we may need to explore further before offering a place.
We trust our partner schools to share all information relating to the young person to ensure we are both satisfied that our provision is the most suitable for the young person.
We invite all our referred young people to attend a pre-placement visit with their parent/careers and/or school contact. This allows a smoother transition for their first day and allows us to complete all the final registration details.
If you wish to refer a learner to our provision please contact Danielle Scaife, [email protected] who will provide you with the referral link.
Each half term the academic team complete a progress review for individual learners, copies of these are sent to the school and the parent/carer of the learner during the first two weeks of the next half term.
To ensure we can deliver an outstanding experience for your students, we invest a significant amount of resource in the wrap around support alongside the academic teaching team, our fees have been set to factor in the cost of general classroom support and teaching staff, onsite Safeguarding and Well-Being, Pastoral & Intervention Support, Campus Liaison and bought in external services for Careers & IAG along with work experience/experiences of work which have been incorporated into our curriculum.

Reporting Absence
It has been proven that positive attendance to College increases your child’s chances of making good progress on their programme and successfully achieving qualifications at the end, however, we accept that there are occasions where your child may not be able to attend due to illness, if your child is unable to attend College for any reason it is important you notify us at the earliest opportunity (should preferably be done prior to the start of their first lesson). Attendance can be text through on the number above or via email to the address above.
EHE Learners are subject to ESFA attendance requirement- falling below these can result in the place being withdrawn.
Monitoring your child’s progress
Each half term the teaching team complete a progress check, this is sent to you in the first 2 weeks of the following half term, this allows you to keep updated on how your child is progressing. However, if you want to know at any point how your child is doing feel free to contact us at any time.
In addition to the progress review, we hold parent review days, information will be shared with parents and carers in advance.
Online Resources
Alongside the academic teaching on the programme we use ‘Century Tech’ across the College, this offers your child the option to take diagnostic assessments for GCSE English Language, Maths and Science which are used to develop an online programme of learning working through the content relevant to the awarding organisation and qualification they are undertaking, tailored specifically to their current subject knowledge. This should be used to compliment and enhance your child’s subject knowledge and does not replace face-to-face teaching, your child should continue to attend taught lessons in College.
Your child will be introduced to these as part of their induction, the will also be timetabled for independent study which is completed at home.
If your child needs any support in accessing these resources, please contact us (using the contact details above).
GCSE Exam Preparation Information
As part of your child’s teaching and learning we will regularly complete in-class assessments and during Year 11 (and Year 10 for early entry candidates) mock examinations. The mock exams are delivered as the summer exam series would be, giving your child the opportunity to experience and adapt to the requirements of exam days. It is important that parents/carers also understand what is expected of their child when it comes to sitting exams. To support with this, we have put together some ‘Exam Day’ information which you and your child should read.
In the document section you can find a copy of the 2025/26 mock exam dates.
