HEADS UP

Support for students into Further Education from WCG

Warwickshire College Group (WCG) is proud of its reputation for offering a wide range of programmes for young people with a variety of needs and also for those who are disengaged with mainstream education and lacking in motivation and engagement.

We have a broad offer of Level 1 provision at each college including Hospitality and Catering, Engineering, Electrical Installation, Health and Childhood Studies, Light Vehicle Maintenance, Plumbing, Prince’s Trust Achieve and Foundation Skills Programmes in Construction, Land based and Catering.  We offer a highly supportive learning environment to students as well as a progression path to further qualifications. WCG currently supports students with additional needs, both in mainstream and bespoke programmes and our reputation for this is excellent.

Our dedicated teams of professionals provide support for a wide range of needs.  These teams include Learning Mentors, the Autism Specialist Team, the Emotional Health and Mental Well Being Team, the Dyslexia Specialist Team, Academic Learning Support and the Preparation for Adulthood hub at The White House, based at Moreton Morrell College. 

For 14-16 year old students still at school who may be becoming disengaged, we also have a re-engagement team who are able to offer a range of programmes, as an alternative to or  in parallel with mainstream teaching, to help those students explore their options for the future and keep them in education.  Popular programmes  include   Prince’s Trust Achieve, Positive Choices, Head Start, Construction Multi skills, Motor Vehicle Maintenance, Animal Welfare and Hair & Beauty,  If you would like to discuss working with the re-engagement team please email Chris Gately: cgately@wcg.ac.uk
