Snapped: College @ 14 Students Celebrate First Prom

Students aged between 14 and 16 at New College Swindon have been celebrating a successful year on the College @ 14 programme by holding their first ever prom.

The red carpet was rolled out and many proud parents watched their children arrive in style and enjoy a night with their friends. The prom goers also enjoyed a photo booth, candy stall and disco at the event. The students created their own prom committee and helped organise music, food, decoration and photography.

The bespoke College @ 14 programme provides the full package for young people; helping them gain more confidence, learn valuable skills and meet new people in a mature learning environment. Each student’s unique achievements were commemorated at the prom with a certificate ceremony.

The College @ 14 study programme builds on students’ prior learning and interests, with a range of A Levels, BTECs, GCSEs, short courses and courses within the Academy of Music and Sound available.
