Why might it be of interest?
It can be quite daunting knowing where to start to look for a post 18 or 19 placement and I think it can be helpful to know where local students have gone on to.
Researching options on the natspec website: https://natspec.org.uk/ can help your research, especially if you are looking further afield than local colleges.
