Key Stage 4 Provision

Westminster Kingsway College offers accredited alternative education provision for Key Stage 4 pupils, aged 14-16 years old. The courses we offer provide knowledge, experience and the vital employability skills required by employers.

Offering a highly inclusive, safe environment that fosters a culture of mutual respect and tolerance for students and staff, our Key Stage 4 provision offers QCF-based qualifications that transforms lives, with high achievement rates that exceed national averages.

We are a specialist Digital Careers College and Health and Social Care Careers College, with outstanding local and regional relationships that produce meaningful work experience, with a strong career-focused ethos.

Our King’s Cross Centre in Grays Inn Road (8 minutes walk from King’s Cross tube station) is fully DDA compliant, safe, bright and spacious offering the best possible learning environment.

Aims and Objectives

Our Key Stage 4 provision aims to:

1. Meet the DfE, Local Authority and schools’ requirements for Alternative Provision
2. Re-engage young people disapplied from the National Curriculum at Key Stage 4
3. Motivate young people to achieve and progress
4. Progress students from Year 10 into Year 11, and in turn onto Further Education, employment or an Apprenticeship

Our offer includes both one day per week ‘day release’ courses from Entry Level to Level 2 along with full time alternative provision courses. We interview each student so that we can advise and guide them to the right course for them.

Students can choose subject areas according to their interests, abilities, and intended career aims. An individual learning plan is prepared and carried out within well equipped workshops and classrooms.

How to apply

Admission to Key Stage 4 is by referral from schools and agencies only. Please email Terry Tinton Terry.Tinton@westking.ac.uk for more information on how to apply.
