and live on Freeview channel 276
The college wants to ensure all new students have access to online learning and support designed to kick-start their return to education before the start of the new academic year in September.
A range of measures are in place to ensure Year 11 students who will be joining the college to study a full-time course in September can start developing the skills they need now.

David Malone, chief operations officer at the college, said: “We want work with school leavers, and anyone else returning to learning, to reduce the impact their time away from education will have had.
“This initiative will help to provide a head start so they can make the next academic year really count and give them the best chance to boost their future grades.
“Our promise to all new students who take part in this programme is that they will start the new academic year feeling prepared and confident to move onto the next stage of their studies.

The new programme will include ‘engaging, interactive online learning’ and support specific to the subject students want to study. It will also provide plenty of opportunities to get to know tutors and their peers on their course.
To take advantage of this initiative, the college is urging school leavers to apply as soon as possible to ensure they secure a place on the course they are most interested in.
