About us
At Craftworks College, we provide an ambitious curriculum for all students aged between 16-19 (19-25 with an Educational and Health Care Plan).
We offer a range of Qualifications through Awarding Organisations Pearson, NCFE and SEG. We provide students with the support they require to continue to learn transferable skills through Vocational Qualifications with English and Mathematics. Our Project-based programmes of study are personalised so students can achieve their potential.
We recognise that academic achievement is only part of the skills and knowledge a young person needs to develop. Therefore we provide students with non-accredited support to develop their personal, social, emotional and life skills. We do this through bespoke Interventions, our Personal Development Programme, Enrichment activities, Progression support and work opportunities.
Our Curriculum Support Pathway is based on the Waves Model of intervention to support an inclusive and fair learning environment to help all students succeed. Our curriculum works to develop the whole person to be able to feel confident to make their next steps into adulthood.
