We ensure all pathways are explored and supported including preparing for and applying to Oxbridge, medicine, veterinary science and dentistry courses, international universities, and apprenticeships and traineeships.

Throughout your time in Sixth, you will engage in a range of enriching experiences to help inform your choices and to prepare you for your future. These include university and careers fairs, Business Breakfast Meetings, guest speaker events offering real-world insights from alumni, parents and industry professionals, and multiple opportunities to engage with industry experts across a wide range of sectors including law, finance, engineering, creative fields and more. Our Futures Week includes mock interviews and assessment centre activities, personal branding workshops and other activities to build confidence and readiness for life beyond school. Students are encouraged to embrace opportunities for work experience and are fully supported in sourcing and securing suitable placements and to make the most of the many valuable virtual work experiences available.

Pathways

Oxbridge

Medicine, Veterinary Medicine, and Dentistry

Many students go straight to university, whether in the UK or overseas, some opt to take a gap year while a growing number choose to pursue an apprenticeship and have achieved success in recent years in the fields of law, engineering, real estate, marketing and corporate finance.

A typical Stortfordian has the confidence, understanding and skills to take control of their future, manage their career and turn their dreams into reality. An education at the College will enable you to thrive in a complex, rapidly changing world, be ready to contribute constructively to society and play a full role in it.

These days, standing still is moving backwards. Bishop’s Stortford College is not standing still. It is as simple as that.
