We aim for every student to leave the school well prepared for the next stage in their career. Students should be well informed when making subject and career decisions. We want students to be inspired and motivated to fulfil their potential. Students need to understand career pathways and how opportunities may change in the future.

  • Aspiration – it is a good to have an idea of what interests and excites you as early as possible, research the qualifications that you need and aim high.
  • Self-development – it is important to understand yourself and to develop your capabilities.
  • Career exploration – you need to know how to investigate career opportunities and to make career plans. Please see our careers programme linked above for additional information.

LMI includes information such as job roles and descriptions, average salary ranges and whether demand for job types is expected to grow or decline.

Teachers

Teachers will get information from their faculty careers leader. Information is provided in our internal shared resources section, which include our careers programme, careers contacts and how to meet the gatsby benchmarks in your faculty area

Employers

As a school – we need your help now, more than ever and we can also help you! We would like our local employers and employees to help our students fulfil their aspirations and goals. We want our young people to understand the World of Work and you could help our students develop the required skills needed to meet employer needs and business/industry challenges.
Think about the skills you would like your workforce to have – perhaps these are skills that are currently lacking and need to be developed in your current and future workforce. Would you like an opportunity to be proactive and influence the future workforce? Do these skills align with a particular subject? (Maths – accountancy OR Physics – Engineering for example)
Please contact the careers leader using the contact information at the top of this page to help us in our mission. Please see our provider access policy above, in line with the Baker Clause.
We have a range of flexible programmes to ensure our students and parents have access to a full careers programme of information through assemblies, drop-in lunch times, parents evenings, careers fairs, apprenticeship workshops, newsletters and project week activities.

Any provider is welcome to contact us to discuss what they can provide for our students and how we can best accommodate your support.
