Year 11 Next Steps: Post-16 Your Choices Booklet & Open Days
Year 11 is a crucial year of big decisions regarding education, training, and future career pathways. To help support families through this transition, we are pleased to share the Post-16 Your Choices Booklet, which will have been emailed home already to parent/carers.
Every Year 11 student will receive a hard copy over the next few weeks during their Help You Choose session
What the booklet includes:
- Pathways Guide: Clear overviews of A-Levels, Vocational Courses, T-Levels, and Apprenticeships
- Open Days Schedule: Dates, times, and booking details for local college and sixth-form open events
- Essential Info: Application deadlines, entry requirements, and guidance on choosing the right environment
We strongly encourage parents and carers to sit down with their child to read through the guide and plan visits to open days together—it is one of the best ways to explore options and build confidence for the year ahead.
