Some Year 11 students have a clear idea about what they want to do in the future and how to get there, but some have not yet worked this out. Others are somewhere in the middle or have changed their minds a few times. This is all a natural part of the Year 11 experience, so if you’re feeling like you need some help, try not to worry, speak to those around you including your Tutors, Head of Year and the Sixth Form Team.
To help right now, check out this advice:
What is our starting point?
Young people must stay in learning until aged 18
‘Learning’ can mean a variety of things though
You have options to choose from
However, it is a must to get your English Language and Maths at Grade 4 or above
So what are the options?
The main options available after Year 11 to students in Croydon are:
School 6th form, like Coloma
College
Apprenticeships
Traineeships (sometimes called other names, eg ‘pre-apprenticeships’).
For additional information and support on these options please consult:
