By rearranging the Blocking so that S3 have the 2 columns which involve Skills for Work opportunities next to one another, it should be possible to ensure that there are approximately 2 hours per day, for up to 3 blocks available  to negotiate delivery, either at the school (Outreach) or at the college if you can afford transport.

Not all of the blocks need to be used. Those not required could be dispersed to suit the school.
