As parents or carers, you’re keen to see your teenager thrive.
Well, so are we!
Education beyond 16 is now compulsory, and Barking & Dagenham College offers a wide range of courses to suit students’ strengths, goals and personalities.
Further Education, Higher Education and Apprenticeships can help with young people’s career prospects, their personal development and their enjoyment of everyday life.
And it’s important that parents and carers are involved – to help support students in this important phase of their development, and to feel informed and engaged.
