Our Vocational Education programme has expanded.

At Oakfield Lodge we have expanded the vocational qualifications that we offer our students via Reaseheath College. We now have year 9, 10 and 11’s doing a range of courses. Our year 9 cohort complete the KS3 Animal Management course, this give them the opportunity to work with a variety of animals from field mice to alpacas and cockroaches to chickens, giving them a taste of college life. Years 10 and 11 can choose from a wide range of studies ranging from Animal Care to Food Technology and Construction to Motor Vehicle. Current students are studying Mechanical Engineering, Agriculture and Construction at Level 1.

The KS4 courses last two year and combine theory and practical work in each subject area. The courses are assessed by internal classwork, observations and external exams. External exams take place during the first term for year 11 students.
