Careers (Pre 16)

Our Careers leads are Luke Talbot, Head of PE Faculty, Andrew Wood, Assistant Headteacher and Danielle Browne, Assistant Headteacher. A teaching Careers Adviser, Mrs Linsdell, organises Careers Education within Key Stage 3 and 4.  There is also a Careers Co-ordinator, Mrs Pinhorn, who is a non-teaching member of staff as well.

All students, through their PSHE lessons, Project Based Learning and Assemblies, cover modules relating to Careers Education and related areas. Progression information will also be delivered through year teams and curriculum areas.  There will be specific support in preparing for transitions from Key Stage 3 to 4 or from Key Stage 4 to 5.

Apprenticeship Providers, Colleges and Employers are invited into the school to give talks to Year 11 students about future career options.  There are also a number of taster lessons offered at the end of Key Stage 4 for subjects that are not offered at that stage, but are offered in the Sixth Form.  

There is a Careers Room which the students have access to.  This room has up-to-date information about a range of progression pathways.

Our careers staff will be pleased to help students with application writing or to give support with KS4 and KS5 choices. Students have access to individual guidance.  This may take the form of a one to one interview, group discussion or meeting.
