Kevin Gilmartin | ASCL Post 16 Specialist
Kevin provides the latest support and advice to heads of sixth form in schools and colleges and to other members wanting clarification over the latest government policies and plans for the post-16 sector. The dominant agenda over the last few years has been the changing sixth form curriculum with the advent of T levels and the defunding of AGQs; Kevin’s work with the DfE in this area has made him a national figure in the debate over the future shape of the 16-19 landscape.
Kevin also represents members in talks with the DfE over 16-19 performance measures, with UCAS over developments in university admissions, and with the Careers and Enterprise company over CEIAG and student destinations.
Prior to joining ASCL, Kevin spent 30 years working in post-16 education, including secondary schools and FE colleges, before finishing his teaching career as a sixth form principal
