Our Careers Programme
Students begin exploring the world of work early in their school journey. Classroom learning is linked to future careers, with teachers embedding real-world examples, employer insight, and labour-market understanding throughout the curriculum.
Through lessons, workshops, visiting speakers, and themed activities, students learn about:
Different job roles and sectors
Personal strengths and aspirations
Key employability skills
The wide range of pathways available to them
College, Sixth Form & Training Provider Engagement
To support students in exploring their post-16 options, we provide:
On-site presentations and Q&A sessions
Visits to colleges, sixth forms, and specialist centres
Workshops on course choices, apprenticeships, and transition guidance
These encounters help students understand the full range of pathways available after Year 11.
