School Leaving Age

England

You can leave school on the last Friday in June if you will be 16 by the end of the Summer holidays.

You must then do one of the following until you are 18:

• stay in full-time education, e.g. at a college;
• start an apprenticeship or traineeship;
• work or volunteer (for 20 hours or more a week) while in part-time education or training.

If your child is leaving us in Year 11 this academic year (2021/22) to pursue their learning elsewhere, their last day with us will be Friday 24th June 2022.

If your child is staying on at Wyre Forest School, they will remain with us to begin their new curriculum and will break up on Thursday 21st July 2022.
