At South Devon College we run a very successful Elective Home Educated programme, which provides a broad and diverse Key Stage 4 curriculum for learners in year 10 & 11.
The provision allows us to look at every student as an individual and offer a Personalised Learning Programme. This is a custom plan tailored to the individual that ensures they gain the academic, vocational and employability skills necessary to achieve their goals. We have also seen a high percentage of learners continue their pathway on to post 16 courses here at South Devon College.
If your child is registered as home educated and in year 10 or 11, you can access up to 3 days’ worth of provision over 36 weeks of the academic year; based at the Vantage Point campus in Paignton or our centres in Newton Abbot.
We can also arrange taster days if your child is currently in year 9 or below, to build confidence and help with transition.

- GCSE maths and English
