IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING OUR VOCATIONAL OFFER FOR HOME EDUCATED STUDENTS FROM SEPTEMBER 2025
Tuesday 12th November 2024 update
Myerscough College is committed to providing high quality technical education across the land-based and sports sectors. Our 14-16 curriculum provision will remain in place for the 2025/26 academic year, starting September 2025, but it will need to be accessed via applications from local schools, on behalf of their pupils.
After extensive discussions with our Local Authorities (LAs) regarding the future of home education, it is clear that the government is focused on prioritising the reintegration of many home educated young people back into mainstream education. In light of this direction, we have made the strategic decision to change the Elective Home Educated (EHE) element of our 14-16 programme, in order to align with this broader educational policy.
Electively Home Educated applicants can no longer apply for courses at Myerscough. The only route to enrolling on a course at Myerscough is through a school who commissions this as an alternative provision.
This change will not impact students who are already attending Myerscough College through their schools.
If you would like to consider enrolling at a local school or need further support with your education at home, please contact your Electively Home Educated teams in your relevant local authority. They will be able to provide information about available school places for September 25 entry. It may be possible that some schools will agree to your child continuing with their course at Myerscough but this will need to be discussed with the school.
For information about the content of the 14-16 curriculum you can email us at 14to16@myerscough.ac.uk or call 01995 642222.
Additional support
Myerscough will arrange for copies of academic reports to be sent to educational providers in order to support and enhance the likelihood of securing a school or alternative provision placement for students.
