For students in Year 11 at school, it can feel like they have a lot on their plate.

They have important decisions to make in terms of what to do next - but help is at hand, with The Next Step magazine.

The 56-page free glossy magazine, which is out today, can help Year 11s with tips for revision and coping with stress, as well as guiding them through the schedule for this year so no important milestones are missed, whether that is taking part in open days or applying for courses next year.

We also have experts' advice and guidance on how to cope with interviews, whether they are in person or online, and on how to decide what is right for students at 16+.

There's also ideas about what job they might want to do in the future; how to create a CV to get noticed, and what sort of apprenticeships are out there.

Not only do Year 11s this year have the restrictions and disruption to their schooling which the coronavirus has brought us all, but it's also one of the most crucial years in their education.

And it's a big year in terms of deciding where they might go next year and what they will be doing.

But whatever the next steps are that need to be made, The Next Step is here to guide Year 11s through them.

Some 22,000 copies are being delivered direct into Kent and Medway schools, so you should be able to pick one up at school, and they will also be available at some selected outlets across the county.

An e-edition is also be available by clicking here.

The magazine is published by the KM Group, which is part of Iliffe Media.
