Careers
The Career Plan 2026/2027 has been designed to link to the Gatsby Benchmarks and uses Unifrog as a source of advice and guidance.
We have two Independent Careers Advisors and the Sixth Form and Enhancement Teams available for students to make appointments for individual consultation (this links to Benchmark 8). Every year 11 student will have a 1-1 30 minute appointment with an advisor along with 30 minutes of completing a careers self audit and action planning. We also encourage any student in any year group to visit Student Services to make an appointment to speak to an advisor if they wish to discuss their future plans.
We regularly share information about current career opportunities with our students in Years 11, 12 & 13 via the Careers Opportunities Classroom.
If you have any queries or feedback please contact Mr Alex Deller.
