We are here for you

We have an amazing team here at Derwen College. They’re all waiting to support you through this next stage of your education.

Just as you need to get to know us, we also take time to get to know you. This is so we can give you the best opportunity and learning experience possible.

Pathways and Programmes

We are definitely not a one-size-fits-all! At Derwen College, we are flexible and adaptive and tailor our Learning Programmes to fit individual student needs.

Our pathways are tailored to suit you. Whether you are looking for a full-time vocational route, or are not quite ready for a customer-facing programme.

Derwen Marketplace provides some outstanding on-site facilities for you to complete your training in and gain valuable work skills and experience.

As well as training in our high-quality, on-site, outlets we have a fantastic network of external work experience opportunities. Work placements give you additional experiences to ensure you are well-prepared for the workplace when you leave college.

What else will your programme include?

As part of your wraparound independence programme, you will learn about budgeting for meals, go shopping for your food and have the opportunity to cook and learn about healthy choices.

Staff will support you while you explore the local and wider community. You will develop road safety and travel skills. You will also explore aspects of personal and social development and citizenship.

Your timetable will include opportunities to join in with sports and/or leisure activities depending on what you like to do. Many students discover new interests at college – we have lots of options for you to explore.
