Student Destinations

We are very proud of the progress that students make in our Sixth Form and we support students in applying to university, apprenticeships, and employment opportunities as they look to begin exciting and rewarding careers.

The majority of our students aspire to study at university, with many gaining entry into prestigious ‘Russell Group’ institutions. Examples of the course’s students go on to study include Law, English, Veterinary Medicine, International Relations, Politics, Sport Science, Business and Accounting among others. 

At Queensbury Academy we understand that applying to university can be a long process. Consequently, we provide a dedicated UCAS service where students are supported with their applications from start to finish and are able to ask for guidance when needed. UCAS seminars are provided for students in Year 12 and continue throughout Year 13, giving insights into what to include in personal statements and how to stand out from the crowd when completing an application.

We also offer an apprenticeship workshop programme, where students who want to pursue degree level apprenticeships are supported and given hints and tips in order to stand out from the crowd when applying for these competitive vacancies. In recent years we have had students secure apprenticeships with both the BBC and GSK in order to fulfil their career aspirations. 

We support students in whatever pathway they wish to take when they finish Year 13, whether that be through university, apprenticeships, or employment.
