Being a student is one of the most exciting times of a young person’s life and so it is vital that they choose the right place and programme of study. At Castleford, Selby and Wakefield College there is a great learning experience waiting and courses that will provide students with skills and knowledge to cope with the next important stage of their life.
We aim to give young people information, advice and guidance about courses and potential career options, to ensure they are achieving their full potential. We're passionate about showcasing our Colleges and all the fantastic courses we offer, in a wide range of subject areas.
Elected Home Educated students working with the Wakefield EHE team can access our Early College Transfer programme in Year 11. Applications are made via an invite from the EHE team between February and May in the year when students are in Year 10. We do not have a provision for EHE students in Year 9 or 10.
Working in Partnership
Castleford, Selby and Wakefield College is committed to working in partnership with local schools, employers and learning providers to transform learning, raise attainment and achievement and encourage progression across the district. The School Partnerships programme aims to raise learners awareness of Further and Higher Education, while encouraging continued participation. We offer schools across the district a comprehensive range of activities for pupils who are looking to enhance their curriculum, and broaden their knowledge and understanding of opportunities in Further Education and employment.
Why the Heart of Yorkshire Education Group?
We feel strongly that our courses are relevant to children at Key Stage 4, and are pleased to also offoer Technical Awards which carry performance points into our provision. These contribute towards Progress and Attainment 8 as we endeavour to ensure vocational learning is still accessible for schools and young people.
Our programmes offer schools a meaningful and challenging alternative curriculum which helps the development of young people while keeping them engaged in education and providing a clear pathway into post-16 education. Last year 78% of Year 11 students progressed from our School Link provision to Post-16 study with us - a figure we’re very proud of.
This is by no means all that we can offer. We also seek to be flexible and if you have an idea of how we can support your school and students please do not hesitate to contact a member of the team.
