Progression Pathways (KS5)
Progression pathways (KS5) are the different routes you can take after you finish your studies. They help you move from school or college into your next stage of education, training, or employment. These pathways include options such as going to college or university, starting an apprenticeship, moving directly into work, or taking a structured gap year. Each pathway offers different opportunities, experiences and qualifications, and the aim is to help students understand them clearly so they can make an informed decision that suits their interests, goals and future plans.
