Generalised – not the one we have in the planning
Eg – GCSEs – A levels – College University
GCSEs/BTECs – BTEC/A levels – College University
GCSEs/BTECs– BTEC/A levels - Apprenticeship
GCSEs/BTECs – Apprenticeship

ML
This needs to be tailored and done very carefully depending on the audience
We need to give some guidance about
Opportunities for nurture and support
Opportunities for stretch and challenge
Opportunities to the EBACC
That we would recommend highly that most students do Hi/Ge or an MfL, and that many do both (the EBACC).
