Apprenticeships:

For any year 11 students considering an apprenticeship NOW is the time to apply for any vacancies being advertised. An apprenticeship is a way for a young person to gain fully recognised qualifications whilst being employed.

Students can chose to do an apprenticeship RATHER than full time college.
