Over the past few months, we have been working extremely hard to increase our provision and expand our curriculum, to make sure we can continue to provide this invaluable service for the young people of Norfolk and Norwich.

What Makes Us Different

Are you a young person who finds mainstream school challenging? Do you want to find a different route which will help you prepare for college, or gain the qualifications needed to achieve an apprenticeship or employment.

Maybe you are a parent or carer, school, social worker, or organisation working with young people, who wants to refer struggling students somewhere more suited to their needs, which will give them opportunities for their future?

Possibly you are a young person looking for a course where you can gain vocational experience in a hands-on environment with extra support, giving you a head start in your career and gaining skills for life?
