Careers Provision for Post-16
During year 13 and 14, all students follow a detailed Career Education and Guidance Programme. This is part of the timetabled PD/Careers programme, during which students get the opportunity to talk individually with their form teacher and/or careers teacher. Students can also avail of the support of the Careers Advisor when required. Students are encouraged to think about their career goals and how to achieve their goals. In particular, they are encouraged to research a variety of post-16 options including university courses, apprenticeships and gap year programmes.
