Post-18 Options

It doesn’t take very long of being in Post-16 to realise that these two years fly by and you are quickly faced with making long-term decisions about your future. This site is designed to help you make those choices, by providing you with information about the four main options available to students finishing Year 13:

  1. Employment
  2. Apprenticeships
  3. University
  4. Gap Years

On this site, you can access:

  • Slideshows that contain summaries of information about each of these four options
  • YouTube videos that go with each slideshow, where Mr Forcella-Burton (the Director of Post-16 at Sir Geoffrey Leigh Academy) talks you through the information
  • ‘Parents’ Guides’ that have been independently published to provide further detailed information about Post-18 Options
  • Links to other sites that are excellent sources of information, guidance and help – don’t be put off by adverts or other messages appearing on the links, as they will still take you to the information you need

Use the Menu to find the information you need.

Good luck with your decision-making!
