Course structure

This course is designed for students who need to boost their academic subject knowledge prior to A-level or a Degree Pathway Programme.

Students may have the additional opportunity to prepare for a range of GCSE examinations where appropriate.

Specialist mentoring and support

Our specialist support team ensures every student develops and grows — academically, personally and socially.

They will have a weekly meeting with their personal tutor. We'll work on an individual learning plan with outcomes based on the student's abilities and goals.

Broad choice of subjects

Students will follow a mixed curriculum including science, mathematics and humanities subjects.

Develop English skills

The programme includes English Preparation. This is tailored to each student's specific language level.

It gives them the intellectual and linguistic skills required for academic study.

Academic enrichment

Learning outside the classroom is crucial.

The Academic Enrichment Programme helps students become well-rounded, culturally adjusted students who can go on to thrive in whatever academic route they take.

It includes creative arts, physical education, and PSHE (Personal, Social and Health Education) to develop personal and social skills.
