Dear Parents and Carers

College Choices

As the pupils embark on their final year with us at Astley Park, we will support their transitions by having discussions and visits to colleges. Visits to Runshaw College are being scheduled to take place in the first term with Newman and Myerscough visits in the Spring Term. Places at post 16 establishments can be limited and as a result, interest and applications should be completed by parents and guardians as soon as possible. The Key Stage 4 Team would like to encourage you to visit the different post 16 establishments yourself which will help you with the decision making process. Please find below an attached a sheet with contact details and phone numbers for the different post 16 establishments.
