Updated: 11/05/2021 430 KB

This document is designed to provide Year 11 pupils and their parents/carers with information about individual school sixth forms and further education colleges in Lancashire. This should help to support any decisions they are making about their futures and what each institution is able to provide. Due to the ongoing Covid-19 situation, not all school sixth forms and colleges are able to offer events and activities, such as open days, campus tours and taster days. However, the information in this document shows that there continues to be a wide range of information and support which can be accessed either through websites, on social media or over the phone.

Updated: 07/01/2021 477 KB

The information has been provided by post 16 institutions across Lancashire to show their course offer, onsite facilities, support for students and how young people can apply for a place. This information is intended to help support them in the decisions they are making about their futures by showing what each institution is able to provide. Due to the continuing Covid-19 situation, post 16 institutions are restricted in how they can support schools and young people at this time in relation to offering open events, tours and taster days. With that in mind, the focus of this document has been to provide as many links as possible to things like documents, video clips and course information to make it easier to navigate provider websites.
