Post 16 Pathways and Progression

All young people in England must continue in education or training until 18 years of age. Young people have the following choices at the end of year 11:

• Full time study at a college, sixth form or training provider
• Full time work or volunteering combined with part time education of training
• An apprenticeship
• A traineeship

As part of our careers programme, year 11 students are provided with a one to one guidance interview with a qualified careers advisor. Parent/Carers are welcome to have a discussion with our careers advisor about their child’s post 16 pathway.
