What are your options after Year 11?
What are your options after Year 11?
When you reach 16, you're suddenly faced with some decisions to make. Up until GCSEs, your path has pretty much been mapped out for you. But after all those years of school, you now have some choices to make.
When you reach 16, you're suddenly faced with some decisions to make. Up until GCSEs, your path has pretty much been mapped out for you. But after all those years of school, you now have some choices to make.
The first thing to remember is that you have to be in some form of education or training until you're 18! But even with that in mind, there are still plenty of options. At 16, it can be difficult to know what you want to do in your career and unless you have your sights set on something in particular, knowing what to do next can be tricky.
Click on the links below to look at the options for your next steps...
