To help Learners through Transition |
Learners from all Kirklees Schools have access to our programmes. We arrange courses through Schools, Colleges and Work-based Learning providers and the Learners are transported to the relevant location for one half day, a full day or two days according to the programme, with the remainder of the School week in their Home Centre (School) completing National Curriculum subjects. As Learners are working off-site, access to learning materials is through the VLE and tracking and monitoring is through ‘CLM’
The Collegiates have operated successfully for 5 years and have a very good reputation in the LA and in Schools. Many of the courses are demanding in time and effort for the Learners, particularly the Young Apprenticeships and the 14-19 Diplomas (the latter must be delivered collaboratively rather than by one institution)
