Full- Time Study for Year 10 and 11s
Outline of Provision
Some
young people need to study at college on a full-time basis because school education
is no longer suitable. These people can study in any of our curriculum areas on
a course at a suitable level. The options available are listed in the
Tameside College (PDF) and Hyde
Clarendon Sixth Form College (PDF) prospectuses. To make sure that young
people develop their English and Maths skills during their studies, Key Skills in
Literacy and Numeracy are built in to the package at an appropriate level. More
able students are also offered the opportunity to sit GCSE Maths and English. Progression opportunities are generally available on to higher level courses or Apprenticeships.
Qualifications offered
Nationally recognised qualifications are available in vocational areas including
National Vocational Qualifications (NVQs), BTEC Introductory and First qualifications
and Technical Certificates. Pupils can also gain certification in English, Maths and Key Skills.
Programme Length
The provision is full-time for year 10 and year 11 pupils. Young people usually attend for 4 or 5 days per week.
