Careers
Welcome to the
Careers section of our website.
The school has
achieved the Quality in Careers Standards Inspiring IAG Award (Information
Advice and Guidance) and we aim to maintain these standards.
Careers Lessons
are delivered as part of PHSCE, the programme of learning is designed to
support students to develop the skills and attitudes needed to move confidently
to the next stage of their future. Details of Careers lessons are shown in the
table attached. Subject Teachers are also encouraged to link their subjects to
the world of work.
Students are
offered the opportunity to have one to one discussions with an independent,
impartial and professionally qualified Careers Adviser. This is a chance to look
at students plans and review all options. To book an appointment use the link
on this page or email Miss Connor. Advisers also attend key parent/carer events
and exam results days these are shorter ‘drop’ in appointments.
This page also
has a link to useful Careers Websites to allow students and parents/carers to
carry out their own research and, for example, register an interest in post 16
and post 18 opportunities.
The Careers
Padlet shows details of events and activities and provides links to register
for these. This Padlet is targeted at year 7 to 13
Year
12 and 13 UCAS and HE Padlet provides a one stop shop for all things Higher
education. From the UCAS application process, personal statement guidance,
careers libraries and up to date University and Apprenticeship event

Work experience

and develop all-important employability and transferable skills.

other post 16 opportunity providers visit school to meet students and provide
support to the delivery of Careers across our curriculum.
