Choosing the right post‑16 pathway is an important milestone for every young person, and at Thames Park Secondary School we are committed to helping our Year 11 pupils make confident, well‑informed decisions about their future. As part of our careers programme, we have brought together a clear and comprehensive table of all upcoming open days, information evenings and events offered by local post‑16 providers across Thurrock and the wider area.

This resource is designed to support pupils and families in exploring a broad range of opportunities - from sixth forms and colleges to apprenticeships and specialist providers. Attending these events will give students valuable insight into different courses, entry requirements and learning environments, helping them understand where they will thrive.

While pupils are encouraged to explore a broad range of opportunities, we are especially proud to highlight St Clere’s Sixth Form and Brentwood County High Sixth Form - both are high‑performing, values‑driven providers which would allow continuation of your education within the Osborne Co‑operative Academy Trust. Many Thames Park students already thrive at St Clere’s, benefiting from its strong academic pathways, supportive culture and the continuity of remaining within our co‑operative family. Attending our trust open events will give pupils and families a deeper understanding of the courses, expectations and enriching experiences available within our Trust.

In line with the Osborne Co‑operative Academy Trust’s commitment to aspiration, inclusion and personal growth, we encourage all Year 11 pupils to begin planning their visits and applications early. Exploring these events - particularly those at St Clere’s Sixth Form - will help students make well‑considered decisions about where they will flourish.

Together, we will support your child in taking the next step with confidence, ambition and a clear sense of direction.
