School Liaison Services
South Cheshire College School Liaison Team is committed to working with schools in Cheshire, Staffordshire and Shropshire offering a variety of activities to enable pupils to find out about their own future and options available when they leave school. We can also provide information on Higher Education Options at South Cheshire College for years 12 and 13.
Information for School Staff
The School Liaison Team can come and visit your school to deliver a wide range of sessions to ensure pupils are familiar with what is available to them in order to help them succeed.
Introduction to South Cheshire College
We are able to give a short presentation suitable for an assembly that explains to pupils the opportunities offered at South Cheshire College.
The presentation can also be developed into a class based workshop to provide pupils in-depth information about courses, entry requirements, student life and support available. It also gives pupils the opportunity to have all their questions answered and receive advice on completing application forms and the interview process.
The team is also able to provide information and guidance regarding Higher Education options at South Cheshire College for years 12 and 13.
