Careers
Welcome to our careers page. Please find information about how we inspire our pupils to think about their future careers from year 7 and how we use the Duke of Edinburgh award programme to support this.
We run a very effective careers programme, giving pupils plenty of chances to begin the process of thinking through where they may want to work and the steps, they will need to take to accomplish their goals.
Our aims are to provide high quality careers advice to all pupils - including pastoral support to pupils regardless of their ability, aspirations, strengths and skills.
