Inspiring your ambitions

Where are you going? What do you like to do?

Choosing the right combination of courses is very important and we’re often asked which courses work well together. So, we’ve developed six pathways to help you make your JLC application and achieve the highest chance of success for you as an individual.

Believe Business –

Imagine IT

Fancy yourself as the next big

business brain or IT tycoon?

If you can keep a cool head

in the busy world of business

any organisation and could be

range of jobs are available in

every industry you can think of.

Unleash the Artist –

Move into Media

an eye for a shot, shape and

colour? If you can impress with

your creative flair and enjoy

undertaking practical work

which demonstrates your skills

to a wider audience you could

be in demand by crafts

organisations, design companies,

publishing houses and

broadcasting businesses.

Confidence to

Create and Perform

Are you at home on the stage and

your skills.

www.leggott.ac.uk

In our expert opinion, we believe courses within the same pathway work well together and we’ve used coloured symbols next to each course listed in this prospectus to indicate which pathway each one belongs to. Some courses belong to more than one pathway because they work well with a wide variety of subjects.

Each pathway is also linked to a particular career group so if you already have a chosen career in mind you can see which courses we recommend at a glance. However, we know not everybody has decided what career path to follow just yet so you may want to select courses based on what you have enjoyed at school.

Of course, you should always choose the best course combination for you… so don’t worry if your application doesn’t fit neatly into one pathway!!

Live Sport, Love Leisure

Like active sport participation or

ensuring leisure opportunities for

all? You may have the talent to

become a professional sportsperson

or your ambition may be to

encourage others to take up active

lifestyles with local organisations

such as leisure centres, health and

fitness clubs or local authorities.

Good business skills will help in

all these industries and add to

your skill set.

Think Science –

Talk Technology

Enjoy research and experimentation

to discover new things and solve

problems? Then you may enjoy a

STEM based career as a scientist,

engineer or mathematician. You

could be based in a laboratory

or on fieldwork or you could use

STEM skills to work in the fields of

education, finance or the media.

Explore the

Human Dimension

Do you aspire to work with

people? This pathway includes

the biggest variety of career

opportunities and could include

work within the travel and

tourism industries, health and

social care sector, social sciences

or political arena.

Inspiration for everyoneAt John Leggott College we have courses for everyone so no matter what your GCSE results we will be available to offer you a place to study on one of our six pathways for future success.

Our courses are divided into different levels and the best way to determine which level is right for you is to look at your predicted GCSE results.

Level 3 courses We have a range of AS/A Levels and BTEC Level 3s for you to choose from and you will need at least five GCSEs at grades C or above to study on these courses.

Your timetable will be made up of a variety of courses which best suits your career aim and future ambitions and you will also have the opportunity to take part in enrichment activities which will complement your studies and develop your skills.

Student SupportWhile you are a student at John Leggott College you will be able to take advantage of a number of support services which we provide to help you reach your full potential.

We want to ensure everybody is able to make the most of the opportunity to study at John Leggott College.

Your Progression Tutor

You will meet with your tutor group during the college week and your progression tutor will be able to answer any queries, review your progress regularly with you and guide you through the application procedure for jobs or Higher Education in due course. You will also have a Progression Manager to talk to.

Study Support

You can get 1:1 help from the Learning Mentors, who can help if you are struggling with organisation, meeting deadlines, revision or time management.

Financial Support

Our aim is to make sure financial issues don’t stop anybody from learning at John Leggott College and you can find out more about the Bursary Fund on the College’s website.

There is a Guaranteed Bursary for students receiving certain benefits and a Discretionary Bursary, which students from lower income families can apply to help with costs associated with attending college.

We don’t charge tuition fees to anybody aged 16-18 who has been a permanent UK resident for at least three years.

Careers Support

During your time at John Leggott College you will spend a lot of time thinking about your future and we have lots of information to help you. You can access this information in the library as well as being able to see your personal tutor, a careers advisor or a personal adviser from North Lincolnshire Council who is based in college. We can also help you to organise work placements.

Additional Support

If you have any learning, mental or medical health needs or any physical disabilities we have a team of people who can offer specialist support while you are at college. Please tell us about any issues in confidence on your application form and we’ll discuss these with you at your interview to ensure we will be doing all we can when you start your courses.

A copy of our Single Equality Scheme is available on the John Leggott College website or by telephoning (01724) 282998.

Other Support Services

You can also make appointments to see the college chaplain, student welfare officer, health officer or college counsellor.

Safeguarding

We are committed to ensuring all of our students are safe and happy during their time at college and our Child Protection Co-ordinator is always available to discuss any issues.
