Teach through to exams
Students can learn, receive support and sit exams in the same familiar setting.
Coding & robotics
Practical IT learning that can re-engage young people who struggle with traditional lessons.

Additional emotional and therapeutic support can be arranged where appropriate.
Stable local centres
Three established sites reduce disruption and can help commissioners manage travel.
More ways to reconnect with learning
Coding, robotics and practical IT alongside core subjects
Some young people engage best when learning feels purposeful and hands-on. Our IT pathway gives students another route into confidence, problem-solving and achievement.
