This episode considers how we can work with key stage 4 students, both academically and pastorally, to prepare them for the step-up to post-16 study.

Our experts discuss why this transition point is so vital and the key challenges post-16 students often face.

We consider: How we can help students to handle the increased independence of post-16 study, including study and research skills, time-management, self-organisation, and the increased difficulty of the curriculum? When should this preparatory work begin? What is role of FE/sixth form colleges in supporting schools? What does good careers guidance look like?
