Welcome to Year 11 YEAR 11 Also known as the year of – the ‘reality check’ for getting ready to move on to the next step in your career pathway! THE BIG PICTURE Where do we want you to be at the end of your South Wigston journey? From here… …to here LESSONWhere OBJECTIVE do we go from here? The objective of this assembly is to: introduce you to the PS16 college application website Preparedness Committing to doing well and having aspirational ambition Resilience Practising until something is done properly Integrity Listening carefully, with respect and empathy Diversity Working positively, co-operatively and interdependently. Enterprise Having a thirst for finding things out Some of our Staff Career Journeys Fisherman Babysitter Waitress Shop Assistant Journalist Telephone Sales Recruitment Manager Market stall trader Current research suggests students will have between 5 – 7 career changes in their working life. The idea of having a job/career for life has gone. Artificial intelligence and automatization of certain industries and jobs will have significant impact on the job market and the need for updating and developing your skills base will be ongoing throughout your career. THE LAW SAYS… You have to stay in education or training until the end of the school year in which you turn 18. (2022) This means: - 6th Form - Further Education College - Apprenticeship - Employment with Training • Lots of opportunities here for you, not just A levels, but NVQs, T-Levels and more besides. • Think about what you are good at, what you enjoy and if you have any ideas of what you might want to do. • But if you don’t know yet, don’t worry, you can still make plans without making commitments to a particular career path! QUALIFICATIONS & LEVELS Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 GCSE 3 – 1 GCSE 9 - 4 A Levels BTEC Introductory BTEC 1st Diploma BTEC Diploma Diploma BTEC Introductory Apprenticeships NVQ1 Diploma T Levels All of these qualifications can lead you to Higher Education & University if you want it. GRADES REQUIRED To do any Level 3 course you must have at least 5 GCSEs at grades 9 – 4 including English & Maths. Some colleges will need grade 6 To study a subject at Level 3 you will generally need at least a grade 6 Like your GCSE exams, A Levels linear meaning that the assessment is at the end of the two year course. AS Levels are qualification on their own and no longer lead to A levels THE BIGGER PICTURE Colleges/Employers look at more than your grades before offering a place. They want to know what kind of person you are and if you are the kind of student that they want….what can you offer? What does this mean for you? They will look at and ask questions about: Punctuality, Think! Attendance, Personal statement Attitude to learning, School reference Behaviour, Relationships with staff and peers What you do inside and outside of school CONSIDERING THE COURSES Which level of course you can apply for will depend on your predicted grades. Think grade reports Staff will not change predicted grades just because you go and say please If your grades improve then it is possible to change grade information before the applications are sent. If you need a better grade in a particular subject, staff can (if asked in plenty of time) write a note when you go for your interview in March/April Your place will depend on your actual results – if they are significantly better (or worse) than predicted you can talk to colleges on Results Day.

    Post 16 and Sixth Form/Further Education Colleges Leicester City post-16 schools and 6th form/FE colleges use relevant information about school-leavers who have accepted places on courses. This is to facilitate those establishments to implement appropriate transitional support measures. End of Key Stage 4 examination results are shared unless the young person opts out of this arrangement. Safeguarding information where relevant is also shared. Leicester City post-16 schools and 6th form/FE colleges share data with Leicester City council. Information on school-leavers who have accepted places on courses are shared along with an indicator for the level of the main programme of study. This facilitates research into the progression of young people to courses at a level below that which might be expected. Research findings are reported in such a way that individual young people cannot be identified from them.

It also provides recommendations to the LSEP about where to invest its budget for Access Centres in Leicester City in 2005/06 and beyond. 1.3 An Access Centre is a one stop shop for community services and learning provision. Core services include adult learning courses, information technology training, child care and job and career guidance. Additional services can include a credit union, welfare and benefits advice, health education, capacity building for volunteers, job vacancy information, legal advice and signposting to other services. 1.4 The LSEP feel they lack sufficient evidence on current adult learning provision in Leicester, to make effective investment decisions. In response, they commissioned this study to identify and map where these types of services are being provided in the City.
