School Engagement

West Suffolk College’s mission is to help work with young people in local schools and sixth form colleges, and their parents and carers, giving them the best impartial information and advice about future prospects and opportunities. We work closely with schools to support them in their delivery of the eight Gatsby Benchmarks*, by offering a full range of activities in and outside the school. Depending on the group size, location and the time of the year, activities can be tailored to meet your needs. All of these activities are designed to help your pupils make informed decisions about their future.
