Foundation Pathway

We also offer a Foundation Pathway. The Foundation Pathway allows students who may need to resit their GCSE English and Maths, do so whilst also working towards a BTEC Level 2 in Construction and Engineering. Note: to follow this path, students must have achieved a minimum of a Grade 2 in GCSE English and Mathematics, with good attendance and a suitable reference from your current school. |
