Year 11 Pupils Explore Post-16 Options at Careers Carousel
On Wednesday, 24th September 2025 our Year 11 pupils had a fantastic opportunity to explore their future pathways at the annual Post-16 Careers Carousel. The event, a key part of our academy's Careers Education, Information, Advice, and Guidance (CEIAG) program, saw nine Post-16 providers visit the academy to showcase the diverse range of opportunities available after graduation.
The sessions were abuzz with energy as pupils moved from one provider's session to another, gathering information and asking thoughtful questions. Each provider gave a detailed presentation, offering an overview of their institution and the various courses, apprenticeships and vocational routes on offer. This direct engagement allows our pupils to gain firsthand insights into different establishments, helping them to make informed decisions about their next steps.
A Look at the Future
The Post-16 Careers Carousel is designed to encourage pupils to think proactively about their options, whether that's continuing their academic studies, pursuing a technical qualification or entering the workforce through an apprenticeship. By bringing these providers directly to the academy, we hope to demystify the process of choosing a Post-16 destination and inspire our pupils to find a path that aligns with their interests and ambitions.
We'd like to extend a huge thank you to all the providers who participated and to our Year 11 pupils for their excellent engagement and enthusiasm. We look forward to seeing what incredible things they achieve in the future!
Pupils engaged with all 4 sessions they had chosen to go to to support them to make informed decisions about post-16 education. Pupils conversated during social time and form time following the event and some had made concrete decisions on their chosen path of study or their chosen institution.
