Raising participation legislation requires you to continue on in education or training until at least your<br />

think about where you would like to attend. This will be discussed and explored in detail during your<br />
Careers Guidance interviews to support you to achieve a successful post 16 transition at the end of<br />
<strong>Year</strong> 11.<br />
