Students are introduced to (CEAIG) Careers Education Information Advice and Guidance from Year 8 through the Employability Programme.  This encourages our young people to realise their skills, qualities, strengths, interests, aspirations and values, which will enable them to make informed decisions both in the short and long term; from choosing GCSE Options to preparing themselves for life and work.

​

In Years 11 – 14 this is developed into a careers programme.  Students’ participation in the Careers classes develops their skills related to making choices based on information, resources available, and the ability to work with others and the attitudes of people to different types of occupations.

​

Students in Year 12 are offered interviews with a Careers Officer from the Learning to DfE Careers Service to prepare them for the transition from school to working life.

​

Work Experience forms a central part of the Careers programme for all Year13 students.  This is invaluable for helping all to gain an insight into the world of work.

​

The three Post-Primary schools in the local area collaborate to organise and host a Careers Convention each year for students in Years 12.  This is supported by a wide variety of Universities, Training Organisations and industries.
