Choices for post 16 students

After Year 11, students in England have the choice of:

  • remaining in full-time education
  • starting an apprenticeship or traineeship
  • spending 20 hours or more a week working or volunteering, while in part-time education or training

There are lots of options to choose from whether your young person is staying in education or going on to training.

There are different arrangements for students in Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.

Schools and education settings will give young people information about their options after Year 11.

The HOPE can also talk to young people to help them decide which option is best for them.

Post 16 young people can get support from The HOPE if they have an ongoing involvement with social care, or up to the age of 25 if they have an EHCP.
