Key Stage 4 is a key transition point in your school journey. During Years 10 and 11 you will get the opportunity to take part in a week’s dedicated work experience and in Year 11 you will make choices about your preferred post-16 pathway. Our aim is to ensure that all Key Stage 4 students are supported to find the most appropriate career path for them, whether this be via education, apprenticeship, training or employment.

The Kent Choices link on the right side of this page will give you further information regarding post-16 pathways across the county. This includes apprenticeships, parent support and Labour Market Information (LMI) specific to the Kent area.
