Our Post 16 Curriculum
Our Post 16 curriculum is designed to challenge and support students as they progress to the next stage of their education. We offer a broad range of academic and applied courses, allowing students to follow a pathway that reflects their interests, strengths and future ambitions.
Alongside subject study, students benefit from a structured programme of enrichment, personal development and pastoral support. This balanced approach helps students develop independence, confidence and the skills needed for success at university, in apprenticeships or employment.
Study Pathways
Students at Post 16 follow a personalised programme of study built around their chosen courses. Most students study three subjects, with opportunities to include additional qualifications where appropriate.
Pathways may include a combination of academic and applied courses, allowing students to tailor their programme to their interests and future goals. Guidance is provided throughout to ensure that each student follows a balanced and manageable programme of study.
