Careers
The Career Plan 2024-2025 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).
We regularly share information about current career opportunities with our students in Years 11, 12 & 13 via the Careers Opportunities Classroom.
Please note that every year 11 student will have a 1-1 hour long meeting with an advisor. 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.
