The pupils will embark on the Year 10 Alternate Curriculum Programme in September.

Each half term, students follow a taster in a different vocational area. They follow the NCEF Employability and Skills award with a view to progressing to the year 11 programme in a vocational area of their choice for one day per week, with the opportunity to achieve a National Vocational Qualification.
