Pre-16 Programme

Priorities seemed so simple once. But more than ten years after Tony Blair's famous 'education, education, education speech', education itself is increasingly concerned with something else: 'vocation, vocation, vocation'.

In partnership with schools in The Waveney Learning Partnership, Lowestoft College continues to support pupils who might benefit most from an accredited, work-related curriculum.

If you have any queries concerning Lowestoft College's Pre16 provision, please ring Tracy Chillman [Pre-16 Coordinator] on 01502 525150 (9.00 a.m. - 4.30 p.m. Monday to Friday).
