A Gap Year can be an excellent formative experience between school and further study, and might involve either working, travelling, or a bit of both. There are a number of commercial organisations which support finding the right Gap Year experiences for young people. Some of these are linked to below – you will find many more with a google search for ‘Gap Year’. It can be good too though to talk with Support for Pupils staff and other teachers who know the young person well, in order to think through possibilities.
