Careers

Careers education, information advice and guidance is at the heart of our founding principles of rigour, partnerships, industry and enterprise. We are committed to fulfilling the GATSBY benchmarks, and to achieving an Investors in Careers quality mark for our work in this area in due course.

We work in partnership with the Youth Employability service (CXK) who deliver high quality, impartial careers guidance delivered by qualified careers professionals. The school has commissioned 20 days of support per year to ensure all pupils receive appropriate careers guidance and support.
