YEAR 13 APPRENTICESHIP OPPORTUNITIES

In this week's assembly we had the NHS Finance team in to discuss the apprenticeships they offer to students post-18. This was really interesting as they have 350 paid spaces at £22,000 for the year. The application deadline is 24 May and the interviews will be after examinations. Here is the link to the apprenticeship page.

They also have plenty of other apprenticeships in accounting and finance. Click here for more information.

UNIVERSITY OPEN DAYS - APRIL

Students in Year 12 should by now be attending university open days ready for their applications in September. Here is a link to all the open days in April. Students will be able to apply to five universities and it’s really important they get a feel for the places as well as understanding the course requirements. Students have so far had multiple assemblies on post-18 choices and in June will have a UCAS day for them to start their applications.

YEAR 11 & YEAR 13 FINAL DAY

We are considering the context for Year 11 and Year 13 last day and will inform you in due course.
