Many of you will recently have watched the Impact Theatre event about Options and you will have heard about "Xtra Options". The Xtra Options Programme provides Year 10 learners in Warrington with opportunities to access ‘Vocational’ subjects which may not necessarily be available to study within their home school.
You may access the Xtra Options Programme for one day a week out of your usual weekly timetable. Each course under the Xtra Option Programme is fully accredited, which means that you are able to achieve a qualification from a chosen course of study. If you choose to study a Construction Xtra Option you would have an opportunity to achieve a City & Guilds Level 1 Certificate in Construction Skills, which is a recognised qualification within the constuction industry.
Please note that you should check with your school before you apply for these courses, when the application process begins after Christmas.
Xtra Option subjects available for Year 9 learners to apply to study in year 10 and Year 11 are as follows: -
Detailed descriptions of these courses will be on this site by December.
We work in partnership with the following external training providers to provide other Xtra Options courses:
