Post 16 Options

This means that all young people are encouraged to stay in ‘education and training’ until the age of 18 years old and was introduced in government legislation 2013

Pupils must do one of the Post 16 options mentioned above until they are 18. The advantages of this is that young people continue to develop their skills and continue to study this in turn will help them to be better equipped to enter employment and manage their own careers.

The 16-19 Bursary Fund is available to support young people most in need and who are entering education or training.
