All young people need a planned programme of activities to support them through choices that are made during school and throughout their transition into adult life. The school values careers as a contribution towards the 2011 Education Act which places a duty on schools to give students in Years 8 to 13 access to careers education, information and guidance at key transition points.
It is our intention that every student will have access to the right information needed, to facilitate them in making informed choices about their future. Whether a student wants to enter the world of work at the earliest point, or become a leading academic in the most competitive field, they should hold the information which will allow them to make ambitious, considered, and educated choices.
