Your Options at 16+

Colleges at Post-16

KAFEC's Further Education Colleges provide an alternative post-16 destination for school leavers, offering both academic and vocational subjects in most cases. Under the Government's new inspection framework 16-18 provision in colleges will now be inspected by OFSTED and adult provision (19+) by the Adult Learning Inspectorate (ALI).

KAFEC is keen that parents and school leavers are fully informed as to the options at post-16. For some schools may be the right place but for many more colleges offer a realistic alternative and a far wider range of high quality options.

The Government is particularly encouraging more collaborative approaches at a local level between colleges and school sixth forms making attendance at both and access to a wider curriculum possible in some cases.

To find out more we recommend that you contact your local college or use the links on this site to look at each college's website and prospectus.

Make sure you know all your options and make an informed choice.
