16-19 Compliance Statement

At The Crypt Sixth Form all of our students are carefully guided through their enrolment to ensure that they have access to the full Study Programme for 16-19 education.

The government Study Programme Guidance for 2024-2025, states that: 

• All students funded through the 16 to 19 funding methodology must be enrolled on a study programme, or T Level programme, which typically combines qualifications and other activities, and is tailored to each student’s prior attainment and career goals.
• All study programmes must have a core aim. This will be tailored to the needs of the individual and typically include a substantial qualification (academic or technical) or preparation for employment.
• All study programmes should include English and maths where required work experience and non-qualification activities which complement the other elements of the programme and support the student to progress to further or higher education (HE) or to employment.
