Post-18
The Sixth Form at Exmouth Community College is a stepping stone to an exciting new career or further study in education. During your time in the Sixth Form, you will be given support and guidance as Exmouth Community College has a dedicated careers team who are available for you to book a next steps meeting with.
The majority of our Sixth Form students move on to higher education. Many of our students have taken up places at top universities, including Offord, Bristol, Loughborough, Southampton, Plymouth and Cardiff. Others successfully secure employment in careers of their choice or decide to take a Gap Year.
UCAS and Higher Education Information
In the Sixth Form, you will be challenged to make the most of the array of opportunities that are available for students in Higher Education. One tutor session each week is focused on helping you plan for your next steps post-18. Whether you are thinking of going to university, starting an apprenticeship or applying for a job, we will help you prepare.
Our students have free access to Unifrog, which enables them to search for and favourite post-18 courses and research their career choices. Unifrog has a substantial library of videos, blogs, tools and psychometric tools that students can make use of.
All students interested in going on to university will have guidance to provide them with all the information that they will need to apply to UCAS. Students are encouraged to attend Open Days, Interviews and the UCAS Convention in March. Personal tutors will be on hand to give advice on suitable courses, the application process and the Personal Statement.
Students receive a weekly Horizons bulletin, curated by the Sixth Form team, which brings together a huge variety of work experience, university outreach events, apprenticeship vacancies, taster events, career support and online events that are available for sixth formers.
