Applied General (vocational)
The Academy offers an exciting vocational curriculum including BTEC (Edexcel), OCR (Cambridge) and ABC qualifications. Each of these are equivalent to one A Level (except Youth Work). For 2022/23 courses are available in the following subjects:
- Engineering
- Sport
- Youth Work
- Food Science
- Health and Social Care
- Business
Vocational qualifications are suitable for those wishing to go from school directly into employment or apprenticeships but are also accepted by the vast majority of universities for a variety of vocationally based courses. In most cases, students choosing a vocational subject would be expected to have passed a level 2 qualification in that subject with grade M.
