Now is an important time for year 11 students. Students will soon be in the process of applying to colleges and sixth forms. 

As well as the guidance offered through assemblies, visits and teaching, Ramsey Academy has a Careers Advisor, Laura Eaves, who attends 1 day per week to offer impartial information, advice and guidance to students on the range of options available. Students can drop in at lunch time or request an appointment via their tutor.

Students have the choice between A levels, The International Baccalaureate (IB), Diplomas and Apprenticeships. There are options available for all levels of ability.
