Your personal calendar

Use this calendar to help you plan what to do as you make your post-16 choices. Then use it to track what you've actually done.

On your first visit, tick the action you think you should take. After that, tick the things you've done. Remember to print your work each time you visit otherwise you'll lose it!

Autumn Term 2009

Spring Term 2010

Prioritise your choices.
Apply for your chosen post-16 option, making sure you have a back-up plan.
Prepare for interviews.
Check that you've completed coursework and other assignments.
Create a revision plan and stick to it.
Find out if you can get an Education Maintenance Allowance (EMA) post-16 and apply for one if you can.
If you're still not sure what to do, speak to your Connexions personal adviser. Remember that the September Guarantee entitles you to an offer of post-16 learning that meets your needs and you'll also receive help to choose well.

Summer Term 2010

If you still have no plans, make an appointment to see your Connexions personal adviser.
Speak to your Connexions personal adviser if you're looking for a job with training.
If you're not quite ready for work and don't want to continue in education, ask your Connexions personal adviser about personalised learning programmes that include preparation for work.
Check that you've received and confirmed the offer of a place in education or training - you can still apply if you haven't done so yet.
Think about doing some work experience or voluntary work in the summer holidays - you may even be able to get a job.
GCSE results are out on 26 August 2010 (online on 25 August). If your results are better or worse than expected, visit your local Connexions centre as soon as possible. The school leaving date is the last Friday in June.
