Young people are now at the point where they will be asked to make choices about some of the courses and qualifications they want to take in Years 10 and 11. It’s an important time not only for them but also for you as a parent or carer.

Changes in education mean that today’s teenagers will be able to choose from an exciting range of courses which can start them on a variety of pathways leading to sixth form, college, university or the workplace.
