Our Year 13 students recently took part in an invaluable Enrichment Day hosted by Services for Young People focusing on the critical next steps for life after Sixth Form. The session provided an in-depth dive into the world of apprenticeships, breaking down the differences between Intermediate, Advanced, Higher, and Degree-level pathways, while highlighting how higher and degree apprenticeships can serve as a compelling alternative to traditional university routes.

Throughout the day, students also received expert guidance on constructing and refining competitive CVs—learning how to effectively showcase their achievements, academic strengths, and transferable skills to potential employers.

The session was a fantastic success. Year 13 students demonstrated outstanding engagement, remaining attentive and enthusiastically participating in every practical activity and group discussion. We hope everyone found the experience both insightful and inspiring as they continue to shape their future career and higher education plans!
