Where can the #RunshawAdvantage take me?
At Runshaw, you will gain the skills and experience you will need for your future, as well as an advantage over other candidates for job roles or higher education places. With 1 in 3 Runshaw students progressing onto a Russell Group university, and over 100 offers for medicine, dentistry and veterinary sciences in the last 3 years, the #RUNSHAWADVANTAGE really can help get you to where you want to be.
At Runshaw, you will receive high quality careers guidance to help you to make well-informed decisions about your future plans.
Specialist staff help you prepare for your chosen next step, ensuring that you achieve the qualifications you need. We endeavour to ensure that every student feels happy and fulfilled during their time at the college, realise their full potential and acquire the skills that equip them to achieve their future goals and ambitions.
We have a great track record in supporting students. If you have an Education Health and Care Plan (EHCP) and need more comprehensive support, we can work with you, your current school and the Local Authority to ensure that you get the best possible support when you come to Runshaw. Arrangements can be made for transition visits to help with the move from school to college and, we are happy to come out to school to see what works best for you.
The Main Aim of Study Support is to work with you as an individual, but also in some cases, with your parent/guardian and teachers, to increase your confidence and independence in preparation for adulthood and for the future, whatever you choose to do. We have a team of Specialist Inclusive Learning Tutors offering personalised 1:1 Specialist Tutorials, to ensure teaching is at the correct level and pace for you.
We want the learning experience to be meaningful and for you to enjoy your time at Runshaw in order to reach your full potential. We offer support for English, Maths and Study Skills on a one to one or small group basis. These are normally scheduled in 8 week blocks and, as a student, you would attend once a week for 30 minutes, outside of class time. At the end of the 8 sessions, progress is reviewed and you may be offered further sessions in agreement with your teacher.
