    Many Students Choose to Go to a Local 6Th Form Or College but There Are Other Choices Too, Like Studying at a College Or a Trai

    Many students choose to go to a local 6th form or college but there are other choices too, like studying at a college or a training provider or getting a job with training. What is important is to choose the course or training to suit your skills and aspirations. The pathway you choose will be based on the following: • The GCSE grades you have achieved or expect to achieve • How you like to learn • Where and what you would like to study later • What you want to do in the future Choosing the right courses can be critical for some career paths and it’s important to not unintentionally close off paths that you may wish to pursue later on in your career. What you can do to make the right choice: • Find out about different careers that interest you • Get advice from the people who know you like your parents and teachers and from The Careers Team at School • Look at the qualifications on offer to you at 6th forms and other local colleges and also consider whether an apprenticeship might be a good route for you. Choosing the right courses for university If you have a particular degree or subject in mind, now is the time to check out the entry requirements on the UCAS site, so that your post 16 choices are the right ones to ensure you get where you want to go post 18! If you really don't know what you want to do at 18, but you think higher education might be of interest then choose a broad range of subjects at 16 so you have maximum choice of university subjects later.

    School Place Provision EXE19-122 PDF 94 KB

    EXECUTIVE – 21 NOVEMBER 2019 SCHOOL PLACE PROVISION Executive Summary The Council considered, through the Joint Committee at its meeting on 25 June 2014, the need for School Places to support the Borough and its future development. The importance of securing additional school places to support existing residents and the needs of future residents was identified as critical and the need for resources to do so were highlighted as a key component of the Community Infrastructure Levy. School Place provision remains a key infrastructure requirement to support the economic vitality of the Borough and the needs of existing parents. The Council has previously supported educational needs in the Borough through:- provision of new secondary school places by facilitating the development of the Hoe Valley School with the related Sportsbox and recreational facilities at Egley Road; identification of a site at Brookwood Farm as suitable for a new primary school; financial support to Woking College for science classrooms; financial support to Winston Churchill School for the Planetarium; development of community sports facilities at Bishop David Brown School together with replacement dining facilities for the school; and exploring the provision of a new site at Shey Copse for the relocation and expansion of Greenfield School with a provision of £21m included in the approved Investment Programme. In March this year the Executive provided a £6m loan facility to Greenfield School for it to acquire the site previously occupied by the International School of London (ISL); this was instead of pursuing the Shey Copse site which is immediately opposite. The acquisition of the site has enabled the early relocation and initial expansion of the school; the school commenced operation at the new site in September 2019.
