There are many decisions to be made by students once they have completed their Sixth Form Level 3 courses.

At KAB6 our aim is to make sure those decisions are as informed as they can be. Options to be explored include applying to university through the UCAS process, apprenticeships, employment and gap year projects.

At the start of Year 12 students are provided with guidance through the university application process. Mock interviews with a variety of professionals are arranged to help students prepare. We have a dedicated KAB6 Careers Advisor to help our students navigate their post 18 options. Students develop a Career Action Plan which we are then able to support. 

Personal and academic tutors offer in depth support to students on completing their personal statement and university application forms. Visits to Higher Education fairs allow pupils to explore the options available to them.

Specialist advice is also be available through KAB6’s partnership with Wellington and Eton College.

Preparation for the more practical elements of university life are covered in the enrichment programme such as personal finance.

We also offer Work Experience opportunities in the Summer Term of Year 12. This year we launched our partnership with Eton College and their University Preparation Summer School courses. Students looking to apply for Oxbridge are encouraged to apply for these summer school courses. We were delighted that 8 of our candidates were selected for this highly competitive programme.

Professional apprenticeship providers supply a wealth of information regarding apprenticeships in the local area. Employment opportunities will be targeted at individuals we know have an interest in each particular field and students are supported with their curriculum vitae, letters of application and any interview preparation. We have many and varied careers talks available to students and include careers and further education guidance through our extensive tutor programme.
