Opportunities for access
A number of events and sessions, integrated into the school careers programme, will offer providers an opportunity to come into school to speak to pupils and/or their parents. Examples include school assemblies, Achievement Mentor tutorials, PSHE lessons and focus days. The Triple Crown Centre is also involved with the Life Ready programme in association with Solihull MBC. Providers are very welcome to enquire about speaking with students and parents on a one-to-one basis to support post 16 choices.

Providers are welcome to leave a copy of their prospectus or other relevant course literature in Reception and this will be made available to students as appropriate.
