NEWSFLASH!

Exciting Developments for Post-16

Ellesmere College has been extremely lucky to secure a significant financial investment from the local authority to develop our Post-16 provision.

What this means:

• Our Post-16 will be on a different site much closer to the city centre with many more opportunities for work experience and internships.
• Post-16 students will have a much more grown-up college experience still with the support and nurture of Ellesmere staff.
• The premises is being fully renovated to meet the needs of our students and on completion will be a flagship city-based SEND Post-16 provision.
• The new premises means post-16 students will be able to develop an enterprise business running a fully serviced conference facility.
• We will be able to expand our EYFS-KS4 provision on our current site.

Renovation work will soon be underway but timescales for completion are not yet clear. Students will be involved in the project and will have plenty of opportunities for transition work. Parents will be kept informed throughout the project.

Exciting times!!
