Year 11 Careers : Post-16 Options
All of our Year 11 should have completed a Moving Forwards form which allows us to organise their Careers Interviews. Information on this can be found in the Year 10 section on THIS page.
Mr Morgan has a number of Careers books that you are welcome to borrow. This includes The Good University Guide, the Guide to Not Going to University, HEAP 2023 and many prospectuses. Pupils need to be able to write a Personal Statement and navigate through application sites such as Kent Choices.
See also our section the 6th Form page for links about Apprenticeships and other pathways. We strongly recommend that pupils make use of their Unifrog accounts.
