Life Beyond TBSHS
Whether you want to continue to further study at university, enter the field of work or develop during a gap year, our experienced and dedicated Sixth Form team will provide you with comprehensive support to help you make the best post-18 choices.
Our broad programme of advice and guidance includes visits, independent advisors and external speakers from all walks of life, complementing our strong academic and extra-curricular provision so that you develop your skills, interests and talents against a backdrop of study and career path knowledge. This means you can assess and review your potential and priorities throughout Sixth Form to maximise your chances of success on leaving TBSHS.
Over 75% of our Sixth Formers still continue to degree study each year with 34% gaining places at the prestigious Russell Group universities through the specialised support we provide to our candidates for the elite universities and highly competitive subjects such as medicine. Provided with broader information about the viable options open to them, more students are now deciding to pursue non-university routes, be that completing Foundation Arts or vocational professional courses, proactive gap years prior to further study or commencing employment directly, benefiting from the expanding range of apprenticeships available.
Our support includes:
- Off-site University visits
- On-site Academic and Industry speakers
- Advice from former students
- Independent Careers Advisor
- Careers Resources including software tools
- Work Experience Co-ordinator
- Detailed university admissions guidance through UCAS
- Personal Statement and CV Preparation

- Mock Interviews
- Post-18 Bulletin disseminating full range of post-18 opportunities including apprenticeships, job vacancies and alternative training routes
