Click on the link to see our Belvidere School Guide to Post-16 Options, which has useful information for students, parents and carers about the Next Steps. This includes a getting-prepared timeline, information about A-levels, vocational courses, apprenticeships and supported programmes and information about our local colleges, 6th forms and training establishments. Finally, there is a section on Higher Education (University) and local Labour Market Information which shows sector growth, demand and decline for our region and county.
