Student Destinations

Our 2026 cohort moved on to excellent destinations including RTS Sixth Form Plus, other local sixth forms; as well as other specialist providers, including Eton, and others.

To support student choices we hold a Post-16 evening each year for our Year 11 students and their families; students follow a Destination Post-16 programme in their Enrichment lessons; college and post 16 destination application and interview support are offered; work experience opportunities alongside sixth form taster lessons, university campus visits and a programme of post 16 support for students with SEND. All students in Year 11 have a one-to-one meeting with a member of the Senior Leadership Team at the start of the autumn term to discuss their Post-16 options and ensure their choices are aspirational and achievable. 

Students are supported by a Careers Advisor from the Educational Development Trust, Achieving for Children,  who provide 1:2:1 support to students at different points in the school year. Alongside this we have a CEIAG coordinator, Ms Carrick-Steele, who develops and leads our careers curriculum.
