We were delighted to host our recent “Moving On Up” event, welcoming a wide range of post-16 providers into school to share information about the opportunities available to our learners as they plan their next steps. The afternoon was well attended by parents and carers of students from KS3 through to KS5, providing a valuable chance to explore future pathways early and begin meaningful conversations about aspirations and progression.

We were joined by an excellent selection of providers, including:

• University Centre Somerset College Group (Taunton, Bridgwater, Cannington & Strode Colleges)

• Aurora Foxes Academy (Minehead)

• SS&L

• Young Somerset

• In Focus (Exeter)

• Green Days

• My Day

• Reflect

• Compass

Each organisation offered insight into their courses, support services and specialist provision, helping families to better understand the wide variety of routes available after school. It was fantastic to see so many engaging conversations taking place, with learners and families gaining confidence in exploring the possibilities ahead. Events like this play an important role in supporting informed decision-making and raising aspirations for all.

Thank you to all the providers who attended and to our families for their continued support.
