Your future starts here. If you’re aged 16–19 and unsure about your next steps after school – or if you’re a parent, carer, professional, family member, or know someone supporting a young person - our Pathways programme offers a supportive and structured route into learning, independence, and future progression. We offer a wide range of Pathways courses, with new courses added this year, designed to meet learners where they are and support a variety of interests, abilities, and goals. Pathways supports young people with EHCPs, those experiencing mental health challenges, and those who have been home educated, as well as learners who are simply looking for a smaller, more supportive step into further education. Learners are supported to build confidence, develop essential life and employability skills, and work towards positive next steps – whether that’s further education, training, or employment – at a pace that works for them. Our experienced and dedicated team provides guidance and encouragement every step of the way, helping learners feel supported, understood, and confident in their next steps.
