We provide outstanding independent Careers Information, Education, Advice and Guidance. We check our provision against the Gatsby Benchmarks to ensure our students are well prepared for the opportunities and challenges of the twenty-first century world of work.

Every student should leave school prepared for life in the twenty-first century. This means ensuring that young people are given opportunities to develop and recognise the values skills and behaviours to help them fulfil their potential.   All students should see the link between their learning and future career. High quality careers advice from qualified impartial professionals ensures that students receive unbiased support, as well as recognising that young people want and need to be well informed when making subject and career decisions (Department for Education March 2015).

Work Experience

Work experience gives students the opportunity to spend time in an adult working environment, carrying out tasks and duties as an employee, but with the emphasis on learning about the world of work. The placement is not necessarily to reflect the eventual career choice of the student but should allow a broad experience of the work place and an opportunity to develop skills for the future. We are delighted to be able to offer this to our Year 10 students in 2020.
