Careers

Careers Education is delivered cross curricular and in the Learning for Life programme. This starts informally in Year 7 introducing awareness to the world of work. The more formal programme starts in Year 8. The Year 9 Careers Programme concentrates on the choice of subjects that will affect different career paths.

Year 10, pupils look employment, the world of work leading to a two week Work Experience placement.

In Year 11 pupils are introduced to interview situations through a Mock Interview Programme, conducted by local employers and training advisers. Time is given to discuss employment at 16 and careers support is offered to all pupils. Pupils have the opportunity to attend Drop in Sessions, Careers Club and have full access to a number of Careers Education web based programmes including guidance from independent Personal Advisers.

The school has achieved a number of national awards for both achievement and innovation, including the well established Investors in Careers Award.
