Career-related subjects are traditionally called vocational subjects in England, our students study from the BTEC Nationals, Cambridge Technicals and AQA Technical exam boards.

Maintaining academic study will maintain academic rigour that is important for continuing learning and reflection as well as providing the opportunity to go to university if you want to.

The IBCP Core is made up of the following elements:

- Personal and professional skills - This is developed by Dane Court to ensure the development of students study and employability skills.
- Service learning - Students plan and deliver a project to solve a social issue in the local community.
- Language development - Students engage on a course of cultural enrichment, this includes learning language and investigating cultural practices.

All students who study on the IBCP have 12 days of work experience.
You are interviewed and matched with a quality work experience placement that provides you with tasks and responsibilities that reflect your career-related learning.
We are the only school in East Kent to offer this experience as part of sixth form life.

Yes, we have many students who go to university with the IBCP, including Russell Group. We ensure that students are on a programme of study that supports this option.
