UCAS, Apprenticeships, and Careers Guidance

At Queensbury Sixth Form, we provide comprehensive support to help students plan for life beyond Sixth Form, whether they are applying to universities, apprenticeships, or entering the workforce.

For students choosing the UCAS route, we guide them through the entire application process. This begins with exploring potential courses and universities, developing personal statements, and gathering references. Students are supported with resources, workshops, and one-to-one mentoring from their tutors and the Sixth Form team throughout the process. Our guidance covers everything from choosing the right courses to submitting applications and preparing for interviews, ensuring students are confident and well-prepared for higher education.

Apprenticeships

For those considering apprenticeships, we provide advice on finding suitable opportunities, preparing applications, and understanding employer expectations. Students learn how to research apprenticeship providers, write strong applications, and demonstrate their skills and strengths effectively.
