9 students successfully secured apprenticeships. This year placements included mechanics, business administration, farming, engineering and bricklaying.
The percentage of our students not in education or employment with training is below national average for all three cohorts. In 2017 there were two students identified as NEET; in 2018 there was one student identified as NEET and in 2019 there are three students currently identified as NEET. This is a result of the fantastic careers and progression pathways advice and guidance we offer at Millom School.
