We offer a variety of activities and events for Careers. These include:
Off-timetable careers days for years 9 and 11.
The Year 9 day is held in July and students have the opportunity to meet employers, investigate their own careers options based on their interests and skills and study what generic skills employers are looking for in the 21st Century economy.
The Year 11 day is held in January and looks at post 16 options. We have visitors from the local colleges, from local apprenticeship organisations, from the Unversity of Befordshire. These visitors give a brief talk but the main part of the session allows students to ask their own questions.
The main careers work done in year 10 is centred around Work Experience and its associated exploration of the real world or work. Please see the Work Experience section of the school's website for further details.
In addition to the off-timetable days, careers development and work-related learning is carried out throughout the curriculum. For example, form tutors carry out reviews with their tutees on a regular basis and agree targets.
Students can have a careers interview here in school to discuss their options and choices. To do this students ask their Form Tutor to pass their name on, or ask the careers co-ordinatior Mr S Sims.
