University Application Day

Mr Simon Coppell is arranging a University Application Day for the Lower Sixth on the last day of this term: Wednesday 29th March. They will be off-timetable all day listening to presentations by internal and external speakers including course and institution choice, strategies for supporting your own mental health, and advice from former students about getting through the application process. Advance notice too that just after Easter he will be holding a talk for Lower Sixth parents and students from 6.30pm on Thursday 20th April about the UK university application procedure.

The Trinity Term will see the return of our annual Careers Convention. We are pleased to be able to host this event in-person again and we are looking for volunteers to speak to students. As always, the aim of the event is to help students consider the possible future career options that are available to them and enable them to meet representatives from different employment areas. More details will be sent out after half term, but if you would like to take part or would like more information, please contact Miss Roxanne Darkin.

We are pleased to announce that we have signed up for the Quality in Careers Standard Award. Our commitment to taking part in this process will give us the opportunity to celebrate our existing good practice and to continue to develop our outstanding careers provision. By going through the rigorous assessment process for the award we will continue to develop a robust programme, ensuring our students make informed decisions at key stages about their study pathways and career opportunities.

This is a two-year process, and we are looking forward to working with our students, parents and Governors on how we can continue to provide excellent careers education here at Chigwell. If you have any questions about careers, please contact Miss Roxanne Darkin rdarkin@chigwell-school.org
