Want to start something meaningful that's going to give you an advantage over the next two years? Eager to get a head start to your Year 12 IB, A Level or BTEC courses? Sign up today to develop the skills you need through a series of essential foundation courses.

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, many schools are now releasing Year 11 Students from the curriculum. This might have left you with 3 months of lost learning and feeling a lack of value for money. But if you have a particular interest you’d like to pursue, or if you’re looking at a specific career path for which extra study is the key to success, then this Head Start Programme is the right choice for you.
