If I do not want to carry on with my education after school. Can I just get a job?
The Government requires young people to continue learning until they are 18 and this includes traineeships and apprenticeships options. This allows you to gain more qualifications and/or improve on your GCSE grades, which in turn is going to put you in a better position when applying for employment later.
