Welcome to SupaJam Education Podcasts!
SupaJam is a unique group of Post-16 specialist music colleges based in Swanley, Canterbury, Brighton and Wandsworth.
We offer carefully tailored placements to young people aged 16-25 with an EHCP.
Many of our students may have previously struggled in mainstream education due to social, emotional or special educational needs
but our bespoke campuses, small class sizes and caring, supportive staff allow all our students to achieve and progress in a happy, inclusive environment.
This podcast gives a voice to our students, allows them to interview industry professionals, give their reaction to special events we go to, and is also part of our work experience platform!
