After a student finishes year 11 there are a vast array of options available for them to consider. In 2013 the government introduced legislation around Raising the Participation Age.

The options available to students can be put into a few groups:
Sixth form college
Students who choose this route would mainly study A-level subjects.
The entry requirements are, generally, grades 5 or 6 across a range of GCSEs. However, each institution will have it’s own entry requirements.
In the local area there are several options for this route.
Here are a few of them. Click on the logo to go to the website.
Details of the courses on offer, at these colleges and the others in the local area, can be found on Log On Move On.
Further Education (FE) college
Students who choose this route would predominantly study vocational, or work based, courses.
The entry requirements for courses at these institutions depend on the level of course being studied.

Apprenticeship
Students who choose this route would be mainly based in a place of work. They would also go to college for a day or two a week to study.
Apprenticeships are available in a wide range of careers. Most apprenticeships require young people to have a range of GCSEs at grades 4 and above including English and Maths.
Young people are paid and rates of pay vary from one apprenticeship to another.

Work
This option is becoming increasingly difficult to find for 16-18 year olds.
It is recommended that you look for a job that has some training alongside it, so that you can develop your skills at the same time.
Volunteering
This can be a good way of developing skills.
