Post 16 Transition
Our Post-16 Transition programme helps young people take their next step with confidence, whether that’s into college, sixth form, or an apprenticeship. We provide tailored one to one support to help them with the next steps of their journey in life.
Not every young person follows the same path after Year 11 — and that’s okay.
We Provide The Best Transitional Support
We know that life after Year 11 can feel overwhelming — especially if the traditional route isn’t the right fit. That’s where we come in. Our Post-16 Transition support is all about helping young people find the right next step, whether that’s college, sixth form, or an apprenticeship — and making sure they feel confident getting there.
From boosting functional skills and arranging work experience, to preparing for interviews and supporting EHCP reviews, we’re with them every step of the way. We don’t just point them in the right direction — we walk alongside them, offering personalised mentoring, guidance, and encouragement to make the whole process as smooth (and stress-free) as possible.
With our support, young people don’t just move on — they move forward, ready for whatever comes next.
Improve Functional Skills – supporting them to meet entry requirements for their chosen next step.
Prepare for Interviews – offering guidance, practice, and strategies to help them shine.
Navigate EHCP Reviews – offering VIP support during Year 11 or 12 reviews to ensure their voice is heard and their needs are met.
Gain Work Experience – building practical skills and confidence in real-world settings.
Explore Their Options – facilitating and accompanying them on visits to colleges, sixth forms, and apprenticeship providers.
Access Ongoing Mentoring – providing consistent encouragement and guidance throughout the process.
