This does not necessarily mean that you need to stay on at a school sixth form, although many of you will. You have a choice about how you continue in education OR training post-16, which could be through:

✔ Full-time study in a school sixth form, a further education college, a sixth form college or with a training provider

✔ An Apprenticeship or Traineeship with an employer ✔ Full-time work or volunteering combined with part-time education or training
