Information for Parents and Carers
Post 16 Provision
Ensuring that our students move from us to the most suitable 16+ provision for them so their needs can continue to be met is important to us. In order to get this right we work closely with a wide range of providers and the Southend Local Authority ‘Connexions’ team.
We spend significant time in KS4 particularly visiting these providers, and sharing our suggestions of where students may go next during Year 10 and 11 annual reviews. We also hold a 16+ evening each year in early November where parents from all Year 10 and 11 students are invited in to meet with representatives of 16+ providers and servies.
Information and links to Post 16 providers can be see below.
