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.
