What students can discuss with the Baseline team

Baseline provides impartial advice about education, training and careers. At the Civic Suite, students can talk through options including university, apprenticeships, further education, training and employment.

Those possibilities cover both continued study and routes into work, making the event relevant to students who already have a preferred next step as well as those still weighing several choices. The session also gives young people an opportunity to speak to the team in person rather than relying solely on written information.

Students can seek support through more than one route. The council says they may speak to their school or college or contact Baseline for advice. Young people elsewhere are navigating similar decisions, including students considering their next move after results in Bournemouth.

Support is available whatever the results

Lewisham Council described results day as a moment that can bring a mix of emotions. Rotimi Skyers, the borough’s Cabinet Member for Children, SEND, Youth Empowerment and Culture, congratulated students and acknowledged the contribution of teachers, school staff, families and friends.

He also addressed students who did not receive the grades they had hoped for, stressing that one set of results does not define their future and that help is available to explore other options. The Baseline event is the council’s confirmed in-person opportunity for students to have that conversation after results day.

Check entry and access details before attending

The council notice confirms that the session is free but does not say whether advance booking is required.
