Choices at 16+

This page explains the possible pathways students can take at the end of Year 11

There are three main pathways students can choose between at the end of Year 11:

  • Entering the Sixth Form at Beaumont, at a school within the BeauSandVer Education Trust or at another school,
  • Entering Further Education at a college, such as Oaklands or West Herts College,
  • Beginning an Apprenticeship or Traineeship, combining paid employment with further education and training.

A general overview of 16+ pathways from the DfE can be viewed below:

The National Careers Service has also produced a guide for 16+ choices, called Get the Jump: Skills for Life which can be viewed here.

Further Education

Our two local FE colleges are Oaklands and West Herts College.

Apprenticeships

The video below explains Higher and Degree Apprenticeships, which students begin at 16+ and 18+

In the video below, industry leaders discuss university degree and Degree Apprenticeship pathways:

You can visit the Find An Apprenticeship website here.

General information about Apprenticeships, including case studies, can be found at the Apprenticeships.Gov website, here.

Impartial Advice and Guidance

As well as information from teachers in school, all students in Year 8 and above may request an impartial advice and guidance meeting with Alison Curnow, our HCC Services for Young People Personal Adviser.  To do this, students or parents should speak to the relevant Head of Year. HSfYP advice can also be accessed out of school hours, including during the school holidays. More information about their St Albans “access point” can be found here.

Careers Information

Information about the school’s Careers Education and Information, Advice and Guidance programme can be found here and on the Beaumont Careers blog here.
