Further education and higher education
There is no post-16 provision on the Islands. Students leaving The Five Islands School attend at colleges/schools with 6th forms on the mainland. Both of these are funded through the Young Persons Learning Agency (YPLA).
A grant is available from the YPLA to each student in support of accommodation and travel costs for the academic year.
General guidance on the scheme can be found in the leaflet Travel and Accommodation Grants - A Quick Guide Opens in a new window.
