Colleges & Post-16

All children and young people have the right to full-time education up to the age of 16 and must then do one of the following until you’re 18; stay in full-time education, for example at a college; start an apprenticeship; or spend 20 hours or more a week working or volunteering, while in part-time education or training.

Many young people with special educational needs and disabilities benefit enormously from these last few years, whether they stay on at school, move to a college of further education or sixth form college, or start an apprenticeship or training.

Whoever you are and whatever you're interested in for a future career there will be an option that is right for you. These pages are here to support you in finding that option.
