Careers & Enterprise

We help students explore their future career and education options. All students have opportunities to develop their employability skills through visits to universities, employer encounters, our annual careers fair.

Our careers adviser provides local labour market information to keep students up to date about local opportunities. One-to-one interviews provide them with opportunities to discuss their potential career pathway with an impartial advisor.

We have a committed Enterprise Adviser and an Enterprise Co-ordinator who both assist the school in providing a quality careers program, accessible to all. 

Our Careers Leader is Mrs Reeves. Our Policy Statement on Provider Access in available here or on our policies page.
