Introduction
Foreword
Foreword
A message from Jasmine Ali, Cabinet member for Children,
Schools and Adult Care
Dear student
Over the next few months you will be making important choices about what you will do after year 11. It’s an
exciting time with lots of options to think about.
This brochure will help you through the process. It gives you the information you need about the options
available to you in Southwark.
Whether you want to:
> start an apprenticeship
> take up a traineeship
> do a technical or professional course
> or go on to A Levels
we have opportunities for every school leaver who wants to learn, work or train.
Whatever your future holds, there’s something in Southwark for you.
One of the options you can look at is the great apprenticeship scheme the council runs you can earn and
learn at the same time. Every year we offer lots of different placements to give people the real chance to
meet their ambitions. As a Southwark Council apprentice, you will work towards a nationally recognised
qualification, and will get the London Living Wage. If you are interested, you can find out more at
southwark.gov.uk/apprenticeships.
Don’t forget each sixth form has its own application process, either via its website or a specific form, so make
sure to check each school’s individual page in this brochure. We encourage you to attend open days so that
you can tour the sixth forms or colleges and meet the teachers. Whatever you chose to do, the most
important thing is to spend some time discussing with your teachers and family or carers, to decide what will
be right for you and best suit your skills, interest and passions. That way you know you are choosing
somewhere that is right for you.
Whatever you are thinking of doing you can get more information on your options by calling the Southwark
Choices Team on 020 7525 4545.
We wish you the very best.

Cabinet member for children and schools

Apprenticeships give you the opportunity to work, learn and earn all at the same time.

advertising, to youth work , environmental engineering or nuclear decommissioning.
The government are looking to increase the number of apprenticeships that are available in the
