In these current times, College & Open Evenings will look a lot different this year. With strict government guidance to ensure the safety of our learners, staff and visitors’, Open Evenings will be conducted Virtually across the board. See below for list of Colleges, and school Sixth Forms in the & Hertfordshire area, for you to research the different options with your Son/Daughter. Please check websites for all Open Evening Virtual dates.

Applications to some of the school sixth forms will start earlier than some of the colleges. For example, Cardinal Newman, and St. George’s start their application process between September and November. Please check websites.

Students can apply to as many colleges/schools sixth forms as they wish, before making a final choice.

Most colleges and schools now have comprehensive information on their websites. The best way to start researching the various options, is to look at the college/school websites to find out about the subjects and the different types of courses offered.

Apprenticeships (training with pay in the work place). This is an alternative to full-time college and there is now a large national database of apprenticeship vacancies. It is very helpful to be familiar with this database. Some companies will advertise their September vacancies in the New Year. The apprenticeship website is www.apprenticeships.org.uk Further information below. If you have any questions regarding Post 16 options, please contact
