Careers Programme

Throughout Years 12 and 13, students have access to:

• Careers advice and one to one guidance
• University and apprenticeship information
• Employer and careers events
• Work experience opportunities
• Support with applications, personal statements and interviews
• Apprenticeship and employment opportunities

Work Experience

Every Year 12 student has the opportunity to complete a week of work experience during the summer term.

It’s a great chance to step outside the classroom, experience the world of work and explore an area that interests you. Students can use the week to develop valuable skills, build confidence and gain experience that will support their future plans.
