Careers Education

Careers education is delivered through the curriculum, with meaningful links made across a range of subject areas. Students have opportunities to explore future education, training and employment pathways through whole-class lessons, small group work and individual learning opportunities.

In addition to careers guidance, students are supported to develop important life skills related to preparing for adulthood, including managing money, understanding grants and benefits, and making positive use of leisure time.

Individual Careers Guidance

Our Careers Advisor, Richa Aryan, is available to provide independent and impartial careers guidance to all students from Year 8 onwards.

Parents and carers are invited to attend careers interviews alongside their child, helping to ensure that future plans and aspirations are discussed collaboratively.

Following each guidance interview, a written careers report is produced and shared with parents/carers.

Individual careers guidance interviews are routinely offered to students in:

• Year 9
• Year 11
• Year 13
• Year 14

Year 9 

Students and their parents/ carers will be invited to an individual careers meeting with the school careers advisor. It will be explained to parents/ carers that there will be a person centred review for their child later in the year and the purpose of the careers meeting is to prepare a careers report to inform that meeting. The report will include a statement of intent for their continued future provision.

Year 11 

Students and their parents/ carers will be invited to an individual careers meeting with the Careers Advisor. At the meeting future options for the student will be discussed and if they are leaving school support will be offered with applications etc.

Year 13

Students and their parents/ carers will be invited to an individual careers meeting with the school careers advisor where they can discuss their future options in order to make informed choices at the beginning of Year 14. 

Year 14

The careers advisor will work with students on an individual or group basis as required in order to assist in reviewing their options, completing application forms and preparing for interviews. 

Additional appointments can be arranged where required.
