Construction Skills

Engagement Project

14 +

From this September (2008) two courses are available as a joint schools (consortium) project in key stage 4.

Construction Skills
September 2008 will see the start of Construction level one for year 10 students, which will be mainly practical, and cover skills such as Brick Laying, Tiling, Painting & Decorating and Joinery (woodwork). This course is the first step for students to learn the basic skills they will need in the exciting world of construction and can lead to NVQ courses that are required to practise the trades professionally. Take a look at www.bconstructive.co.uk to see the range of careers available for you. It will also tell you how to develop a career pathway just for you.

The course is offered as one full day each week and is based at one of the schools in Brentwood where they have purpose built facilities. It is open to students from all schools in the Brentwood area, who will travel to the central construction base one day a week. You will be provided with taster activities and guidance to ensure you study the right course of study for you.
On completion of all our construction courses, students get the chance to go on to higher level construction courses.

Engagement Project
The Engagement programme is run for students who would benefit from a personalised education plan and consists of two days in school studying the core subjects of English, Maths, Science and ICT, one day at Pilgrims Hall just outside Brentwood every Wednesday and two days on extended work experience, usually Thursday and Friday.
