The range of places you can study other than school are:

- Studio Schools - teach through enterprise projects and real work. This approach ensures students' learning is connected to the real world and helps them develop the skills they need for life and work.
- Free Schools - these are like academies but are set up to meet the needs of a local community.
- Some Pre-16 college courses - a few students may go to a Further Education college to study vocational courses through a specific pre-16 programme while they are still learning at school.
Here are some places you can study at 16, as well as places you can study at 18.
