Careers

The aim of the school is to provide our students with information, advice and guidance on the full range of opportunities available to them as they progress through their education. Through PSHCE lessons, our STEP tutorial programme, dedicated non-timetable days and a diverse range of extra-curricular opportunities, students will have the capacity to explore their future ambitions. We intend to achieve all the demands of the ‘Gatsby benchmarks’, including enhancing student encounters with workplace employers, to deliver an excellent programme to support the aspirations of our young people.

Students can access further support by visiting our Careers team located in the FrAmbition room on A block corridor.  Parents/carers and employers can find out further information by contacting the lead in Careers in school who is Mr Fran Ward, Assistant Headteacher by emailing Mr Ward or by phoning 01913866628.

Our aim is to raise the aspirations of our students and provide them with the knowledge and skills to develop their own career paths.  Our success in achieving this aim is measured by student voice, employer feedback (including our Enterprise Adviser) and the destination data we collate in school.

The careers programme is reviewed on an annual basis in consultation with students, tutors and our linked Governor and Enterprise Adviser with the intention of enhancing our provision year upon year.
