Connect is our flagship wraparound programme that supports every student from the point of application to enrolment and beyond. Connect reimagines the application and enrolment journey.Â
Here’s how it works: upon application review, your students receive a guaranteed offer (subject to meeting entry requirements), and we introduce them early to their Heads of Department, future peers, and our fantastic support teams. It’s about creating genuine connections from day one!Â
Our Connect events are packed with career focused activities, exciting course tasters, and tailored advice that helps your students make really informed decisions about their futures. We actively encourage parents and carers to join us too – because we know that exploring college life and progression routes together makes such a difference.Â
What makes us particularly proud is that every student leaves with a clear, personalised plan that’s perfectly aligned to their interests and ambitions. This isn’t just about enrolment – it’s about ongoing support that gives your students the absolute best start to a successful and fulfilling education journey with us!Â
