Why study Level 2?
Here at Stockton Sixth Form College, we offer a Foundation Studies Programme at a number of different levels. The Level 2 programme is aimed at young people who would like to move on to further study, a job or an apprenticeship but do not have enough qualifications at GCSE level to do so. It is designed to give you the confidence, self-belief and skills you need to move on with your life. You will improve your English and maths, gain additional qualifications at GCSE level and gain valuable employability skills.
Our class sizes are small, and you will study in a relaxed, friendly and supportive atmosphere. We can provide support if you have a learning difficulty or disability and offer targeted support depending on your needs.

Careers
