Further and higher education

All children between the ages of 16 and 18 must continue in education or training. This is called Further Education. It can take place at a:

• sixth form in a secondary school
• college
• specialist colleges
• workplace.

You can find information about Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) support on their websites. 

For 16 to 24 year olds with an EHCP, a supported internship is a great option.

After further education, you or your child might decide to go to university. This is called higher education.
