Key Stage 4 parents- Although we have only just started the school year, we urge you to start thinking about Post 16 settings for your child.
To help students to be involved in these important decisions, we will be hosting a Post 16 information event for students in October with several local colleges attending.
It is essential that parents attend college open events - there is no substitute for a good look around or book a private tour.
Upcoming events include:-
Newcastle College (Foundation Studies department) OPEN EVENT Wednesday 9th October 2024
Newfriars College (SEND college in Bucknall) OPEN EVENT Wednesday 23rd October 2024
Martec ( vocational training with lots of SEND students) OPEN EVENT early October
Stoke on Trent College (Burslem Campus- Foundation Studies) OPEN EVENT Wednesday 16th October 2024

South Cheshire College (Foundation Studies department) OPEN EVENT Wednesday 9th October2024
Reaseheath College ( vocational training with support for SEND students) OPEN EVENT Saturday 28th September 2024
Each of these colleges offer different experiences for learners. Not all will be suitable for your child's needs or aspirations. Your SEND keyworker (check your EHCP) will support you with decision making.
We publish open events on our Facebook page but also these colleges have websites which you should be checking.
