Future Routes Programme

Our Future Routes & Next Steps programme is a comprehensive support system designed to guide students through their post-16 options and prepare them for life beyond Sixth Form.

Beginning in Year 12, students take part in ten structured sessions that explore a wide range of future pathways including:

  • University
  • Apprenticeships, including degree-level
  • Gap years and employment

These sessions help students make informed choices about their next steps.

Personalised Guidance

Every student has a One-to-One Future Routes interview with a member of the Sixth Form team and access to our in-school careers adviser, ensuring that every student receives personalised advice tailored to their goals and aspirations.

UCAS

Comprehensive information and support for both students and parents is available in the UCAS Parent & Student Guide, helping you navigate every step of the university application process with confidence.
