SCHOOL PARTNERSHIPS

Supporting progression with schools.

Working with schools

Nescot has fully-trained careers advisors, who work closely with our feeder schools. We support students by giving them up-to-date and relevant information about their post-16 options, including apprenticeships. We offer flexible support, delivered at our feeder schools and here at Nescot. We also provide some specialised provision for Years 10 and 11, taught in the college.

What we offer

At Nescot

Activities and events at Nescot – available to all schools

  • We hold regular open events throughout the year, where students can speak to specialist subject tutors as well as expert staff from support areas. Open events give students the opportunity to look around the college and meet tutors and current students. Visitors can apply for courses at the event.
  • We can arrange group visits to open events from schools (minimum two weeks’ notice please).
  • Group visits to Nescot involving tours and talks on options and next steps can be arranged throughout the academic year to suit your school and group (minimum three weeks’ notice please).

There is a comprehensive process of engagement with schools, and the activities from recruitment to college through open evenings and the engagement as student or apprentice ensures that no stone is left unturned in the recruitment process.
