Post 16 Transitions

Post-16 Transitions

In year 11 students prepare for their post 16 transitions. The students must choose whether to:

• Stay in full-time education
• Start an apprenticeship or traineeship
• Spend 20 hours or more a week working or volunteering while also doing part-time education or training 

We advise that even if a student is confident that they want to apply for an apprenticeship or enter employment, it is important that they have a backup plan to avoid disappointment in case things do not work out the way they hoped. Therefore we advise all students apply for a course via mychoice16.

Full time education
