the pathway to your future
At 14+ College, we know that traditional GCSEs are just one part of preparing you for a successful future.
That’s why our pathways combine academic learning with hands-on, career-focused technical training, helping you build the skills and confidence employers value.
Alongside your core GCSE subjects, you’ll choose two specialist technical pathways – one in Year 10 and one in Year 11.
These qualifications are equivalent to GCSEs and give you a deeper understanding of your chosen industries, helping shape your post-16 options and career ambitions.
Our specialised technical and professional training pathways include…
- Art & Design
- Childcare (Year 10 Only)
- Carpentry and Joinery
- Fabrication & Welding (Year 11 Only)
- Hair & Beauty
- Health & Social Care (Year 11 Only)
- Motor Vehicle (Year 10 Only)
- Performing Arts
- Sport
Alongside your pathway subjects, you’ll also benefit from enrichment activities and work experience opportunities, designed to broaden your skills, boost your confidence, and give you real insight into the world of work.
Welcoming. Supportive. Happy. That’s how I’d describe my 14+ experience. That’s honestly how it’s felt from day one – a place where I can be myself, get the help I need, and actually enjoy coming to college every day.
