The Post 16 @ College pathway is a unique pathway enabling students to study at one of partnership colleges on a study programme of their choice*.  There are over 35 different vocational areas across fours levels that students can choose from, in addition to studying English, mathematics and undertaking work placement in the industry of interest.  

We currently work with Mid Kent College across their two campuses.

This pathway enables students to access specialist courses while continuing to improve their independence and their preparation for adulthood with the support of Grange Park Learning Mentors.

Key Features

Tiered Support

The tiered support approach allows a truly personalised approach to the support a Grange park student receives on this pathway.  Every aspect of the students' day is looked at support is given based on need.  This allows students to be involved in their level of support to enable them  to take ownership on their journey to independence and success.
