Post 16 and Post 19 Pathways

Every child’s pathway is different and depends on:

  • Aspirations
  • Ability
  • Your Local Authority

We will support you and your child/young person in making the best decisions for the future through consultation, the annual review process and access to Careers advice. Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ School uses North Tyneside’s Connexions. This timeline shows how the transition process works.
