Thinking about September plans?

All young people need to stay in learning until age 18. But this does not mean having to stay at school if you are ready for a change.

What are my options?

You might already know what you're doing this September, but if you don't, it can be helpful to research your options to see which suit you best.

Your options include:

• Studying A-Levels
• Going to college
• Doing an apprenticeship
• Studying T-Levels

Take Action: Already have your September plans in place? You can let us know where you'll be studying.

• Blackbird Leys Technology Campus Open Event (1st May)
• City of Oxford College Open Event (8th May)
