The Parent Perspective Podcast S3 E6: The Post-16 Options

October 17, 2023

Have there ever been more options available to a 16 year old leaving school?!

This episode is the first of three in ‘Options October’. In later episodes we’ll focus on post-18 choices and ‘retraining’, but in this episode, it’s all about the options open to young people post-16, after their GCSEs.

Joining Rachel are Lisa Capper MBE, who is the Principal of Stoke-on-Trent College, and Laura Hussey, who is a teacher within DSPL and parent of a Year 11 student and a daughter who has just left sixth form.
