Though many students will choose to go to university it is not right for everyone. Some students may decide to follow Higher Education via colleges. Others may go straight into employment or take a gap year before continuing with their education.

Below are links to documents giving advice to students considering doing something other than immediate further study at University.

The documents are 'pdf' files which will require you to have Adobe Acrobat Reader installed on your computer to read them.

The Sixth Form Team and Connexions work closely with students who have decided to not to go to university.  We have a dedicated resources area in the common room with information for students who wish to follow a career pathway in the workplace, go onto college or take a gap year.
