Catcote Sixth Form and Employability Centre is situated at Throston in Hartlepool and caters for post-16 and post 19 students with autism. Our post 16 learners follow our sixth form curriculum and our Post 19 learners follow the STEPS programme which is a pre-supported internship programme. We have another offsite sixth form centre situated on Brierton Lane, Hartlepool which caters for our moderate and severe learning difficulties (MLD and SLD). We also have a small cohort of MLD students who are based in our training room above Catcote Metro (a shop in Hartlepool shopping centre). These students are working towards supported internships and employment.

The focus of the sixth form curriculum is around the 4 themes within Preparation for Adulthood (PfA):

Employment
