You will work experience to gain real experience of the world of professional work and develop skills in professional conduct and customer/ client relations. We have a range of partnerships with creative and technical businesses, community focussed charities, social enterprises, groups and councils who will all provide The EDGE with a range of opportunities to help ensure you develop relevant industry and life skills and knowledge. As soon as you start at The EDGE the transition from learning to working begins. When you leave us after year 13 you will have made informed choices about your future pathway.

We're officially 'Outstanding'!

Following an inspection by Ofsted in March, inspectors found our provision met the high standards required to be Outstanding in every aspect, making us the first General Further Education provider to achieve this under the new enhanced framework.

We are overjoyed with the result, which is the culmination of all the hard work put in by staff, students and stakeholders to make EKC Group such an outstanding place to study and work.

So proud of one of our year level 3 Art and design students who has had her work printed in the first issue of Folkestone’s brand new magazine

The art and design level 3 students were commissioned to illustrate poem titled Fog and Hannah’s work was chosen to be printed.

5000 copies have been printed and you can pick one up from most coffee shops and venues in Folkestone.

Very excited to get our hands on one and see it in print.

Congratulations to everyone involved!!
