Gateway Programme

Gateway is a school programme for senior students that supports them to undertake learning and assessment in the workplace. It gives students a clear understanding of the knowledge and skills required for future employment.

Students have had some outstanding experiences, thanks to the generosity of local employers and their staff, who give up their time and share their expertise. Some students have secured apprenticeships for next year and others now have a clear idea about the vocational pathway that they wish to follow.

We would like to thank all the Industry Training Organisations for their support and the following organisations for hosting and mentoring our students;

Thanks also to the Vocational Pathways staff at St Kevin’s College for all their hard work and encouragement.
