3. Our vision…
Getting you to where you want to go!
ASPIRE, ACHIEVE and SUCCEED
Create a unity and identity to our Post 16
that provides full support and guidance,
which will allow our students to progress.
Students to enjoy learning and the
experience that Royds Post 16 Provides.

4. Changes to Education
Under the present law, the school leaving age is 16.
However from September 2013 the education
leaving age will rise to 17 and from 2015 it will rise
again, to 18
The government is raising the leaving age because
research shows that young people who carry on
learning or training until the age of 18 earn more
money, are likely to be healthier and less likely to
be in trouble with the police
