Special school post-16 hub opens for business

Exhall Grange Specialist School in Ash Green, Warwickshire recently opened a new hub for its sixth-form students. 

A former disused building on the school site has been transformed into a bright, airy and modern space which will be used for a range of activities including vocational learning, life skills, work experience and enterprise training. There is also a chill-out area with a pool table for students to relax between lessons. 

To improve the chances of students securing jobs when they leave the school, a Skills for Employment grant from Warwickshire County Council has enabled the development of some new vocational courses to be run at the hub. The courses are certificated by national bodies including BTEC and recognised by employers.
