Life after Year 11
Every student leaves Phoenix with a plan for what comes next. Below are the sixth forms, colleges and training providers our students most often move on to, when their open events are, and how to go along and see them for yourself.
Visiting is the best way to choose. Most colleges run several open evenings across the year, so you can look at more than one before you apply.

Sixth form college offering A levels and level 3 pathways, with strong progression support into university, apprenticeships and work.
Newcastle under Lyme, Stafford and Leek campuses
