YEAR 10 Preparing for Post 16 Transition 2020-21

Year 10 would normally take part in a College taster event in the summer term. As this is not able to go ahead for 2020, Year 10 are advised to look carefully at what Post 16 options will be available to them for September 2021.

Use XELLO initially to explore different options before going to the individual websites of each of the Post 16 providers of interest.
Look at different subjects/courses of interest ( those you may be currently studying as well as new ones)
Look at the qualification available and GCSE/BTEC grade requirements to access these courses in the future.
Below are a series of resources to support your independent research
