Post-18 pathways

Your future beyond Sixth Form

Our commitment to providing a ‘cradle to career’ education at Brigshaw High School and Sixth Form ensures that we will strive to ‘create exceptional learning opportunities’ with the very best teaching, support and guidance during your time with us. This extends to student achievement both academically and pastorally, so that our young people leave us equipped with the skills, knowledge and character they require for their next step onto their chosen Post 18 pathway. 

We will mentor and encourage our students to be aspirational in identifying and achieving their targets, aimed at meeting their potential across their curriculum options and looking forwards to the next step in their educational and academic careers, including UCAS applications, apprenticeships and alternative career pathways. 

We ensure that our students are ready and prepared for their next step by providing a comprehensive careers and pastoral programme which is diverse and bespoke for every student. This programme includes access to trips, webinars, on-line resources and visits from external providers as well as the Unifrog on-line platform where students can explore their interests and aspirations across a vast range of pathways.
