Opportunities for access

‘Moving On’ events, integrated into the school careers programme, will offer providers an opportunity to come into school to speak to pupils and/or their parents/carers. Talks and introductory taster sessions can be facilitated, with sufficient notice being given so that the premises and facilities can be booked.

Premises and facilities

The school will make the Gill Greenwood building, classrooms, meeting spaces and/or IT resources available for discussions between the provider and students, as appropriate to the activity.
