Careers Curriculum

The careers curriculum is delivered through all subjects.  However there is discrete units on careers within the Futures, Perspectives and Insight programmes.

All students can request an interview with the Careers Manager.  The interview explores choices for GCSE subjects and future careers. Students are encouraged to develop their interview skills during this process and discuss their own personal qualities and skills. However,  below are the activities we run throughout the year groups.
