Mr Rodgers continued: “The most rewarding part of today is knowing that our young people all have a pathway to the next stage of their lives, with many of them choosing to follow one of the many diverse courses on offer in JCSC’s sixth form. As one of the few local providers of T-levels, in addition to our A-level and vocational offer, we have developed our curriculum to provide courses to suit a broad range of learners.”
Mr Gaines, Head of Vocational at JCSC explains further: “We are one of the only schools in the North Northumberland area who are offering a T Level in Education course and a T Level in Digital course. These courses each equate to 3 x A Levels and prove an excellent opportunity for students to work alongside their study, with relevant work placements offered as part of the qualification.”
