School Partnership Team

SCHOOLS PARTNERSHIP TEAM

At Macclesfield College, we work closely with schools, sixth forms and partner services to provide clear, helpful information, advice and guidance to students from Year 7 through to Year 13. 

We are passionate about working in collaboration across Cheshire and neighbouring areas, including Derbyshire, Staffordshire and Greater Manchester, to ensure every student feels confident and well informed when making decisions about their future. 

As specialists in further education, we bring fresh, engaging and innovative approaches to careers education, helping young people explore their options and understand the opportunities available to them. 

If you are interested in working with us, we would love to hear from you, please get in touch with our School Partnership Team.
