In partnership with Glasgow City Council, the College works closely with local secondary schools and provides vocational tasters and programmes for school leavers, early leavers and pupils who are still attending school.
College is not like school - it's an informal atmosphere where tutors teach smaller groups, so you're able to get the right amount of support and attention to help you come to grips with practical subjects and enjoy your learning. Everyone is treated (...and is expected to behave...) like an adult, and you're encouraged to ask questions and work on your own initiative.
Many school pupils attend for a half-day per week while still carrying on with their school-based work the rest of the week. If you think you could benefit from this, simply speak to your guidance teacher at school to find out more.
For those leaving school, bear in mind that you don't necessarily need qualifications before coming on to a programme at John Wheatley College - but if you do have experience and information about your achievements, we'd be delighted to discuss this with you at your interview.
Learners at John Wheatley College each follow an individual programme - even if they're taught as part of a class. During an informal interview with a programme tutor and a member of the Advice Team, learners can choose a programme to suit their own needs. At enrolment, all learners will open an Individual Learning Plan, which is updated on a regular basis throughout their time at College.
