FUTURE PATHWAYS
Looking Beyond Sixth Form
All Year 12 students at Frensham Sixth Form take part in The Edge Programme which focuses on key areas such as communication, leadership, teamwork, creative thinking and problem-solving. Each skill you develop is recorded on Unifrog, our online pathways platform. When it’s time to apply for a university place, apprenticeship, or job, you’ll have a portfolio of evidence that clearly demonstrates your strengths. Giving you the edge over other applicants.
Our dedicated Higher Education specialists and tutor team offer personalised guidance every step of the way. Whether your next destination is university, a foundation course, an apprenticeship, employment or a dance or drama school, you’ll receive expert support in finding and securing the right path for you. Frensham’s approach to university and career preparation has been praised by The Good Schools Guide, which highlighted the outstanding quality of our UCAS and Higher Education support.
