Archive, December 2017: this announcement concerns courses starting in January 2018.

In December 2017, Buxton & Leek College announced additional course start dates in January 2018.

Jack Price, Buxton & Leek College Assistant Principal for Quality and Innovation said:

“we are delighted to be able to offer our students courses which start in January alongside our usual September starting date – we have recognised for some time that there has been a demand for this flexibility. It also means that people who feel they made the wrong choice in September can have a fresh start in January and change direction.”

The college said the courses were suitable for 16- to 18-year-olds outside education or training, and offered existing students a chance to change courses.
