Careers - KS3

As early as Year 7, we introduce students to career resources, as they start to identify the types of jobs they are interested in, and the personal qualities and skills required to do each job.

Students learn about personal development, planning, and decision making in their PSHE, English and RE lessons.

During Years 7, 8 and 9 students investigate various aspects of careers education through their PSHE lessons (although there is a crossover into all subjects) and by accessing dedicated careers websites. As our students progress through the school, opportunities are developed and include lectures, webinars, and events dedicated to next steps.

In Year 9, students make their GCSE choices, and explore how to keep their options open; this is supported by a comprehensive programme delivered through assembly, tutor lessons, PSHE, and parent information events. All students in Year 9 are offered 1:1 career interviews with an external consultant.
