There’s lots of choice for young people when it comes to making decisions about where and what to learn when they leave Year 11. You might be working with young people at this stage and feel you are just a bit confused yourself or you might have young people in your care that you want to support.
The Suffolk County Council Skills Team have produced a helpful leaflet on this topic aimed at practitioners, parents and carers of our Suffolk students.
Send an email to skills@suffolk.gov.uk if you would like hard copies/a hard copy. You can also download the resource via the link below.
