Progression

Progression Post A Level Study

We discuss future progression plans with prospective students during their year 11 interviews and at enrolment following GCSE results.

As a student at RSFC, you will be exposed to a range of progression-related activities during your two-year study to help you make an informed choice about your future plans. We invite employers, universities, and apprenticeship providers into College to share key information about their courses and industries.

Don’t worry if you are unsure of your next steps following A level study, specialising in A levels or experiencing new interests through enrichment and other extra-curricular activities that your future pathway becomes clear. Your SPDL and subject teachers will support you with your plans, providing information on next steps.
