An overview of options after Year 11
We host a Parent Information Evening every September for Year 11 Parents and Carers. If you were unable to join us this year, our virtual presentation will give you an overview of the different pathways available to study at Barnsley College and Barnsley Sixth Form College.
Barnsley College offers Vocational and T-Level courses , A-Levels, and Apprenticeships. We are confident that at least one of our pathways will be suitable for your young person. Presentations are delivered in schools to explore these options, and we host three open events during the year for you to visit to find out more about the options we offer.
