The Post 16 @ College pathway is a unique pathway enabling students to study at one of partnership colleges on a study programme of their choice*.  There are over 35 different vocational areas across fours levels that students can choose from, in addition to studying English, mathematics and undertaking work placement in the industry of interest.  

We currently work with Mid Kent College across their two campuses.

This pathway enables students to access specialist courses while continuing to improve their independence and their preparation for adulthood with the support of Grange Park Learning Mentors.

Key Features

This includes the vocational aspect, English and mathematics (all taught by college specialists), Personal study - which is support with work from their course and independence skills, which is facilitated by Grange Park learning mentors

Tiered Support
