An education trust which came under fire for a decision to scrap A-Levels at a Norfolk sixth form has revealed its next steps.
Synergy Multi-Academy Trust (MAT) has now clarified what will come next for pupils after it announced that Sheringham Sixth Form would no longer offer A-Level courses from September.
The shocking news caused outrage among parents, who felt the situation had been "badly managed" as students were told just weeks after acceptance letters had been sent out.
One parent described the decision as "unfair" on the children, who were then left stressed about where they may go instead.
However, a spokesman for the trust responded to these concerns. He said: "Supporting pupils and their families throughout this process remains our priority."
Students will be able to transfer their application to Reepham College, where transport will be provided for a route with stops at Cromer, Sheringham and Holt.
The trust has also said that Reepham College will be hosting an A-Level taster event "very shortly" to help students and parents make informed decisions.
This will give people an opportunity to tour the college and facilities, meet subject teachers and current students, learn more about the courses and ask questions about the transfer process.
One of the other concerns parents raised was the deadlines on applications closing for other colleges in the area if their child did not want to go Reepham College.
But the trust has confirmed that it has contacted a wide range of other sixth forms and colleges, with the following still accepting applications: City College Norwich, Paston College, Easton College, Fakenham Sixth Form, Sir Isaac Newton Sixth Form, Jane Austen Sixth Form and Hellesdon High School Sixth Form.
The range of courses at Reepham has also been extended "to meet the needs of pupils from Sheringham" including psychology, criminology, law, photography and others.
