Careers Education

In addition to providing an overview of the range of careers and courses available to young people, the Careers Department offers personal support and guidance to pupils selecting their GCSE and A level options in order to maximise their future opportunities.

Careers is taught as an integral part of the Wellbeing curriculum for all pupils in Years 7 to 11 and as a distinct lesson in Year 12, aligning with the Gatsby Benchmarks and the Careers Development Institute’s Careers Development Framework.  Our Head of Careers is a registered member of the Career Development Institute and provides personal guidance to pupils and families. 

The curriculum is divided into three strands:

Career Curriculum

Careers Library

The Head of Careers maintains a Careers Library, which offers a wealth of resources, from university prospectuses and degree subject guides to colourful careers brochures and careers guidance aids.  

All pupils are encouraged to drop into the Careers Office during school hours to utilise the available materials with the guidance of the Head of Careers.
