Hello, my name is Kelly and welcome to Beyond the Bell. A blog providing all the information, tips and tricks on entering the real working world once your time at school is over, whether you fancy having a go at higher education or jumping straight into an apprenticeship. 

I decided to start blogging as a way to write down all tips and tricks I have picked up over the last ten years as a secondary school teacher, specialising in helping students with their choices after school has finished. I had some spare time (not much with 2 under 2!) whilst on maternity leave and thought, why not I will give it a go! 

I have decided to aim for weekly posts and bitesize chunks on our social media, so you can expect to have all the resources you need to apply and succeed with any career. 

Want to become a doctor but not sure how? I can help breakdown the steps. Looking for something else that doesn’t include a university application? Don’t worry, I have experience with this too and can point you in any direction. 

So if you are due to leave school in Year 11 or looking for some ideas for after Year 13 you’re in the right place! 

If you have any questions please feel free to make contact below and I will get back to you as soon as I can. Or you can head over to our social media for more tips and tricks. 

Thank you for taking the time to read through, I am looking forward to the journey ahead and to see how Beyond the Bell can grow.
