Careers
Young people now have to make more decisions and choices about their lifestyle, education and future careers than any previous generation. Never before has the need for good information advice and guidance been more essential. Students can access advice from their Tutors and Pastoral Managers about a range of matters from problems in lessons to bullying behaviour, but support can also be accessed from the following areas:
The Careers Leader
Mrs Scaife is responsible for the implementation of the schools Careers Programme. This includes careers lessons, employer engagement activities, the careers fair, face to face IAG interviews, logonmoveon, apprenticeship information, work-related learning, career related visits and work experience. The full careers programme is available on the website and is updated annually at the end of the summer term.
