6th form options - vocational

[mumof3girlies]

My year 12 daughter is not getting on with her choices and looking to move 6th form, does anyone have experience of moving a student at this stage. She is creative and practical and not necessarily looking to go to university but looking towards apprenticeship or some other form of learning on the job.

Any ideas greatly appreciated as she is not loving her current subjects (art A level - happy with tho ) but finance and psychology Btec not so much .

Thanks in advance !

Would an Art and Design BTEC extended diploma be the way to go? This is done over two years and is equivalent to 3 A levels. Many students leave during year 12 and start sixth form again. Unfortunately due to COVID the number of apprenticeships available has dropped dramatically.

Thanks Renata - do I search up this qualification and see who offers this in London? - that sounds like the perfect course for her.

Christ The King 6th Form college do it at their Lewisham, Emmanuel site.

Southwark college and Lewisham College offer a University of the Arts London level 3 Art course that is one year that can be followed by a second year which is free if you are under 19 when you start.
