We are always happy to support your school by attending these events and offering information, advice and guidance to students and their parents from years 8 through to 13.

Our taster sessions typically take place in the summer term and give Year 10 students the opportunity to experience life at Cheshire College, supporting students with their next steps. These can be arranged for whole year groups or small groups.  

Our team can attend your school regularly to help with applications, enquiries or advice and guidance over the lunchtime period to support your students.

We invite careers leaders from our partner schools and local authority to attend our annual conference to share key updates including curriculum offer and student support. Confirmed dates to follow.
