At Green Lane, we offer support to both parents/carers and individual pupils with the complete transition to their chosen college.
We start in year 10 by introducing possible college choices, taking the pupils on tours of possible colleges and start discussing what will happen in year 11.
Students and parents/carers also have the opportunity to speak to the local colleges who attend our annual Careers and Moving on Event.
Parents/carers and students are encouraged to also visit colleges on open days/evenings. This information on the different colleges is always given out in advance and updated through the year.
Once it is time to start applying to college, (year 11) we will always make sure there is support available for students and parents/carers to make an informed decison on which college they chose to go to and are offered support to fill in applications when/if required.
Once students have had an offer to their college, we will ensure that the appropriate amount of transition visits will take place until the end of the year.
We understand that this can be a very anxious and difficult time for some of our pupils and parents/carers and we will ensure that the support is given to alliviate any worries and concerns that you both may have.
