  • KS5 Transition Information Thinking Beyond Bonus Pastor: a Student Guide
    Name: ____________________ KS5 Transition Information Thinking Beyond Bonus Pastor: A Student Guide Ms Hill – Leader of CEIAG and KS5 Transition [email protected] Today you have taken part in a KS5 Transition Meeting which I hope that you found interesting and insightful. The aim of this meeting was to get you thinking beyond Bonus Pastor. You will receive a copy of the Personal Action Plan that we created together in the meeting. Keep this together with the attached information, and use it to help guide you through the KS5 Transition process. If you or your parents/carers have any questions at any time, please email me – no question is a silly question! Qualifications Explained – What Can I Apply For? You are currently studying for GCSEs which are Level 1 or 2 qualifications, depending on what grades you achieve at the end of Year 11. Generally speaking: if you are forecast to achieve GCSEs at grades 1 - 4 then you can apply for Level 1 or 2 BTEC courses or an intermediate level apprenticeship. Once you have completed this you can progress to Level 3 courses. if you are forecast to achieve GCSEs at grades 4 or above then you can apply to study A Levels, Level 3 BTEC courses, or intermediate level or advanced level apprenticeships. (Most A Level courses will require you to have at least a grade 5 or 6 in the subjects you wish to study.) However if you are applying for a vocational trade-based course such as Hair and Beauty, Motor Vehicle Mechanics or Electrical Installation, all courses start at Level 1 and then progress up to Level 2 and 3 courses.

  • Moving on to Secondary Education 2021 Advice and Guidance on the Offer Process – Please Read Carefully
    Moving on to Secondary Education 2021 Advice and guidance on the offer process – please read carefully All your preferred schools have applied their admissions criteria to your application. The highest preference school able to offer a place to your child, or an appropriate alternative school with availability, is now available to view. Your child will automatically be added to the waiting list of any school/s of a higher preference. The offer should be accepted online by 15 March 2021. If you have been offered a school other than your first preference - the higher preference school(s) had more applications than places to offer and your child had a lower priority than other applicants under the school’s published admissions criteria. If you have been offered your first preference school - any applications to lower preferences are normally deleted as no longer required. Please see below sub heading ‘Adding new preferences and reinstating lower preferences’. • London Borough of Bromley schools, other than Bishop Justus, Newstead Wood and St Olave’s, offer the majority of their places on distance, priority being given to applicants living closest. If you have not received an offer it is because your address has not been reached. All available places have been allocated to those with higher criteria priority or who live closer. • If the school is in another borough and you would like more information about the reason why your child was not offered a place, contact the admissions team of the Local Authority in which the school is situated. Contact details for Bromley secondary schools and neighbouring authorities can be found further down.
