What Happens After Year 11?

Post-16 Pathways Explained: What Happens After Year 11?
Description (for educational resources website):
This clear and engaging PowerPoint lesson helps students understand their Post-16 education and training options after Year 11. It explains the legal requirement to remain in education or training until age 18 and introduces key pathways including A Levels, BTEC/T Levels, apprenticeships, and vocational college courses. Pupils also learn the difference between Level 2 and Level 3 qualifications, what college life is like, and how the application process works. The lesson includes knowledge checks and structured explanations designed to make an often confusing stage of education simple and accessible for learners.
The resource also includes an accompanying worksheet that guides pupils through planning their own potential pathway, exploring future careers, and reflecting on which post-16 route may suit them best. With built-in recall tasks, understanding checks, and a structured demonstration activity, this resource works well for PSHE, careers education, tutor time, or GCSE/ducation development topics where progression and life opportunities are explored.
