Redhill Sixth Form is driven by a desire to see students ‘aim high’ in life and, as such, actively encourages students to apply to university or advanced apprenticeships.
Below is a list of useful links and information for students thinking about their career aspirations and those not sure if University is the right choice for them.

Not Going To Uni
Not Going To Uni was founded in 2008 to showcase the alternatives to the standard university route to school and college leavers. They want to change how young people engage with brands and discover their future careers.
