EKC Folkestone Junior College

By studying at EKC Folkestone Junior College, your options are open after Year 11.

You could continue in our College on one of our Business or Creative courses such as Level 2 Fashion and Marketing, or T Level Business Management and Administration.

You are also well set up to explore other creative specialisms across Kent or start an apprenticeship.

Students of the Junior College will work towards Level 2 qualifications in Art and Design, and Creative Media, meaning they’ll develop their artistic skills, creative thinking, and visual communication.

Essential GCSEs in English and Maths are a fundamental part of the educational experience.

We are dedicated to ensuring students progress with the qualifications they will need for a future career in a range of areas.

Employer sessions, activities and events are held throughout the College year to ensure all students get the best out of their learning experience.

Recently, students learnt all about fashion and what it takes to run a successful business with Kirsty, who owns fashion brand Kerlora.

They chatted to her about concepts, and explored areas such as marketing, logistics and sustainability.

Trips, activities and events are held throughout the College year to ensure all students get the best out of their learning experience.

Students from our Junior College recently hosted a badge-making workshop for children from Churchill School. They guided the children to design their own badges and even created inspiring examples.

Other events include Freshers Fayres and Celebration Days, in which students can take part in a series of games, challenge each other and create exciting memories.

Students learn within a safe environment, with distinct lanyards so they are easily identified as pre-16 learners.

We have high expectations for all learners, to enable them to successfully and safely study, within a post-16 and adult learning environment.

From taking part in social action projects to making a difference to other students, there’s always something to get involved with at EKC Folkestone Junior College.

Previous students have helped to sell items at our annual Christmas Lights switch-on, raising money for the community.

When students join EKC Folkestone Junior College, they automatically become part of our Students’ Union.

Our Student Experience Officer is on-hand to support the Students’ Union and provide exciting opportunities for students during their time at College.

Making decisions about the future can feel like a big step, but your young person doesn’t have to do it alone.

Junior College is dedicated to supporting students’ academic progress, ensuring they obtain the qualifications needed for future success in the creative fields and beyond.
