Careers - KS4

We encourage all students to consider the career possibilities throughout Year 10 and 11 and provide a wealth of impartial guidance and information on post 16 options.

All students in key stage 4 have access to lectures, talks and webinars, from motivational speakers and industry professionals. We encourage key stage 4 students to volunteer within the local community as part of the Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme
