Student Destinations

Our 2024 cohort moved on to excellent destinations, including RTS Sixth Form Plus, other local sixth forms, as well as other specialist providers, including Gordon's School 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; and there are 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.
