Who is Junior College for?
EKC Folkestone Junior College is a provision for learners aged 14 who know that they would like a career within the creative or business sector.

They will also gain a Level 2 BTEC Extended Certificate in Personal Growth and Wellbeing.
The Junior College provides an opportunity for students that have a clear direction or vision of the industry that they want to go into. Students in Junior College will be able to study areas including:
- Art and Design
- Business
- GCSE English and Maths
A Practical Learning Experience
Students of the Junior College will work towards a UAL Level 2 Diploma in Art and Design and a NCFE Diploma in Business Skills. They will also gain essential GCSEs in English and Maths.
English and Maths are a fundamental part of your educational experience and we are dedicated to ensuring you progress with the qualifications you will need for a future career in a range of areas.
Our Junior College campus
EKC Folkestone Junior College is a part of our School for Creative and Business, and is based on our College campus.
The Junior College is in a separate building from our 16+ students, but our Junior College students will work with industry professionals and be able to demonstrate their maturity in working with outside professionals on projects.
