Penwith College Taster Day: Private Schools, Home Educated, Sixth Form Schools & Alternative Provision
Try something new, experience college life and discover your future at a Penwith College taster day for Year 10, Year 11 and Year 12 students.
THE COLLEGE EXPERIENCE
Get ready for a day packed with hands-on experiences, new ideas and exciting possibilities at Penwith College!
This special taster day is your chance to step into college life, explore subjects you love (and ones you’ve never tried before), and meet expert tutors who are here to inspire your next steps.
Whether you’re already planning your future or just starting to think about it, this day is all about trying, discovering and having fun.
Students must pick subject choices and book their place to attend this event.
What to expect
You’ll be timetabled into lessons and you can choose from a wide range of subject areas – from art and photography to science, sport and technical courses, giving you a real taste of what’s on offer. You could be creating in Art & Design, experimenting in Science, building in Construction or exploring careers in areas like Computer Games Design, Business or Beauty Therapy. It’s your chance to step out of your comfort zone and discover what you enjoy most.
- Take part in interactive subject sessions

- Experience what college life is really like
Who can attend?
This taster day is for any Year 10, Year 11 or Year 12 student who does not already have an organised taster day pre-arranged by their school. Students who are home schooled, attend private school, belong to a school with a sixth form or attend Alternative Provision are welcome to register and attend.
Take your first step towards college life – we can’t wait to welcome you!
I think what makes Penwith College so special is its sense of community. I became friends with my lecturers and met new people who I still keep in touch with.
