Extended curriculum and BTEC
Supporting learners on their chosen pathway
We're passionate about encouraging and supporting learners’ wider development. Through our broad range of subjects, we support every learner to develop knowledge and skills that will take them beyond the exam hall and into their working lives.
BTEC's are evolving
Following the latest news from the DfE on 16 May 2024, and the general election result, we want to reassure you that we will continue to support you and your learners.
