Preparing our Students for their Next Steps

We begin a student’s career journey in Year 7 where we support students to understand themselves, their interests, likes and dislikes, what they are good at and how this affects the choices they make.

We help students to find out about the local labour market, as well as different local and national courses, qualifications and opportunities that they may be interested in currently and in the future.

As part of our Careers Programme we offer our students workshops, career weeks, talks from local businesses and alumni, work experience, and one-on-one guidance with a careers advisor.
