Where Our Students Go Next
We’re incredibly proud of the diverse and exciting paths our Sixth Form students take after leaving us. In 2025, our successful university applicants secured places at a range of UK universities, including the University of Warwick, Edinburgh, and Leeds.
Our students pursue a wide range of degree courses, reflecting their passions and ambitions. Recent choices for 2025–26 include:
- Paramedic Science

But university isn’t the only route to success – and we celebrate every journey. Many of our students choose apprenticeships, employment, or further education, and we’re committed to supporting each individual in finding the path that’s right for them.

Higher/Degree Apprenticeships
While many of our leavers who choose the Higher Degree Apprenticeship route apply directly through specific employer portals, The Higher and Degree Apprenticeship Listing showcases thousands of vacancies from various employers. Students can apply for these apprenticeships and a full time place at university at the same time. Higher and Degree apprenticeships are widening access to the professions bringing together the very best of higher and vocational education. Degree apprenticeships give you the opportunity to attain a degree or professional qualification from some of our best universities and providers whilst training in a top flight career. Tuition fees are paid for by your employer and the government and you will be learning and earning a salary from day one.
