Careers Guidance

Careers Provision Across The Whole School

We introduce pupils to the world of work from their earliest years and progressively develop their understanding of pathways, skills and opportunities, so that they can thrive in their working lives. This is through curriculum learning, encounters with role models from a variety of industries, Careers days, competitions, university visits, information evenings, and targeted guidance.

Careers provision is overseen by Miss Willis, a Level 6-qualified careers advisor, who is available to all students whenever they wish to discuss career options. At each stage of School life, particular aspects of the Careers programme take prominence, with the main focus at each stage shown below.
