Dream Big. Aim High.
At 14 – 16 College, we offer an innovative pathway tailored to lead you towards your future career. Step into a place where you are encouraged to explore your passions and develop your talents.
Here, it’s not just about what you learn, but how you learn it. Our guiding principles merge academic excellence with the development of the skills and behaviours required for a successful future. We want you to flourish at 14-16 College, to become the best version of you.
A partnership with BCA will enhance your schools’ programme with the benefit of specialist knowledge, realistic working environments and excellent facilities including vast grounds, an animal centre, floristry workshop, sports facilities*, outdoor adventure centre and motor vehicle workshops.
The 14-16 course programmes provide nationally-recognised qualifications which combine practical skills development and academic content, highly valued by employers and effective at fast-tracking students into work. Research also shows that exam success rates improve through vocational learning, as students are happier and more fulfilled when their learning is centred on practical work experience. Please contact us to discuss your requirements.
We work in partnership with schools to deliver specialist 14–16 programmes, giving students in Year 10 and Year 11 the opportunity to broaden their learning experience. These programmes allow pupils to continue studying their core GCSE subjects at school while also attending college to access vocational courses and specialist facilities that may not otherwise be available to them. By collaborating in this way, we can create a tailored learning pathway that enriches the school curriculum, raises aspirations, and helps students build confidence and skills for their future education and career choices
The Schools Transition Programme is specifically aimed at individual learners in school years 10 & 11 who are experiencing difficulties accessing mainstream education or are home educated.
The course provides opportunities to return to learning. The programme, where possible, is tailored to each learner, providing a flexible return to study e.g. a phased introduction to College. The programme will include a vocational area of choice with the opportunity to access English, Maths and Science.
