WHY CHOOSE CALDERDALE?
We provide additional courses to enable young
people who are home educated to acquire qualifications in a wide variety of subjects, depending on their interests and choice of career pathway.

WE MEET INDIVIDUAL NEEDS
Calderdale College have been successfully supporting young people who are home educated since 2014.

All our students on the ECT programme have a personalised timetable designed to meet their needs.

Individual timetables are designed from a range of vocational subjects and GCSEs/Functional Skills in English and Maths.

Applicants must have been educated at home for a minimum of 12 months and have provided evidence of appropriate education taking place at home to the local authority EHE team. The college provision is part time only, and intended to supplement education taking place at home.

The responsibility of the child’s education remains with the parents/carers.
