Sixth Form Information booklet 2020

SIXTH FORM
Moving On
The majority of our students move on to study at
university. However, an increasing number are now
securing advanced apprenticeships. In recent years
we have had a number of students study at Oxford
and Cambridge Universities as well as Durham, Bristol,
Cardiff, Birmingham and many more.
The apprenticeship sector is exciting and fast growing
and students from S. Peter’s are now studying and
earning with companies and organisations such as
Amazon, HS2 and Network Rail. Whatever the aim
and whatever the level, we have a full programme of
guidance and support to help all students achieve
their goals.
Destinations
● 84% of students continue their education after sixth
form by attending university or securing a higher level
apprenticeship
● Other students choose to go into the armed services,
take a gap year or enter employment
Financial Support
If you find that financial circumstances are a barrier to
you studying then we will help you access financial
support. The government Bursary Fund supports 16 to
19 year olds who face financial difficulties and those who
most need help are supported with the costs of staying
in education.

At S. Peter’s we are able to award discretionary bursaries
to individual students. These awards are intended to
help students stay in education by removing the financial
barriers they may otherwise face. Awards can be made to
help students with costs in the following areas:
● Transport
● Meals
● Books
● Equipment
