As a parent or carer, you want to be able to guide and advise your child towards the best opportunity for them at each Key Stage. It is important to be open-minded about the range of opportunities, and equipping yourself with knowledge and information is the best way to build your confidence, and ultimately to support your child to make the best decision for them.
