Everyone should have the chance to achieve their best. Find out about our foundation offer for learners who need additional support.

Our foundation programmes support learners to progress onto vocational career pathways within Activate Learning.

A Level 1 Foundation qualification is an accredited and widely-recognised qualification, aimed at learners who may have been disengaged from learning, underachieving, or who are unsure about their study choices.

During the one- or two-year programme, learners are able to try different vocational options or specialise in a chosen subject area. Our students also develop employability skills and continue their studies in either GCSEs or Functional Skills English, Maths and digital literacy where required. The programme includes citizenship and personal and social development, as well as work experience opportunities.
