Norfolk Sixth Forms and Suffolk Sixth Forms Open Day Events

It’s that time of year when families are considering which high schools to choose for their Year 6 children, or if you have a child about to leave high school and considering which sixth form to choose.

A pupil ceases to be of statutory school age on the last Friday of June of the school
year (1 September – 31 August) in which he or she reaches his or her sixteenth
birthday.

However, the Education and Skills Act 2008 means that all young people
will be required by law to continue in education or training to the end of the academic
year in which they turn 17 and until at least their 18th birthday.

There are various sixth form colleges and colleges of further education offering a wide range of academic and vocational courses and some secondary schools offer sixth form provision throughout Norfolk and Suffolk.

What are your choices after Year 11?

You can choose to:-

  • Study full-time at sixth form or college or with another provider (further education)
  • Start an apprenticeship
  • Work or volunteer full-time with part-time study or training

Don’t forget that whatever choice you make you must stay in education or training until you are 18.

Below you will find all of the post 16 choices for you to take a look at, many of them have open days or evenings for you to go along to and check out their facilities and if they have the courses you would like to study.
