YEAR 10
Post-16 Options
Now that Year 10 has come to an end and students are heading into their final year at the college, there will be various sessions next academic year to get students thinking about their post-16 options. A slideshow has been compiled to help inform students; please note this does not include information regarding vocational courses within the International Baccalaureate programme. More information will be sent out in September.
Best wishes,
The Year 10 Team.
