Post 16 Students are given the opportunity to apply for various student leadership roles at the start of Y12 during their induction to Post 16. Our tutors also work closely with their tutees to establish work experience opportunities to fit alongside student’s academic studies. Some students may elect to volunteer in Hospitals or Primary Schools as they may be choosing that area for their career progression. These opportunities not only support the community of the school but also enable them to develop their interpersonal skills, organisation and assists with their applications to Jobs, Apprenticeships and UCAS.
