Information for Parents

The London Borough of Bexley has created Decisions,  a directory which provides an overview of the range of courses, in different subjects and at different levels which are available in Bexley in post-16.  The contact details for the local schools, academies, colleges and work based training providers are listed throughout the directory. For the most up to date information on any of the courses simply contact the provider directly via the links to the schools and post16 providers’ websites.

As a parent or carer, you want to be able to guide and advise your child towards the best opportunity for them. So, where do you start?

There are so many options available to your child on leaving school. They could join the sixth form, begin an apprenticeship, commence a T Level, develop their confidence through a traineeship, apply for full-time university, consider a gap year or even move into volunteering!

Through this Parent Zone, we aim to help you to explore those options. 

The Careermap team have put together the carreermag for parents to help parents/carers to allow them to support young people in thinking about their futures. This edition includes a guide on Post 16 and 18 Options; UCAS 2022 Entry; COVID resilient careers and much more! There are sector spotlights on careers and qualifications in Sport; Engineering and Retail.
