Careers Education and Guidance Programme

The Careers Department provides information, advice and guidance to pupils at different stages of their school career and is an essential aspect of school life. Aware of the rapid changes in careers development brought about by economic and political influences and technological progress the department constantly monitors the situation, keeping both students and staff advised of the latest opportunities.

watershed careersThe department has a range of resources to help students make informed decisions about subject choices, higher education and careers. Here they can access essential careers and university related information. A wide range of up-to-date pamphlets and booklets about the requirements for various careers are provided and are constantly updated.

All students receive formal careers education from form one onwards and students are given extra help at key transition stages such as choosing IGCSE and A level subjects and applying to university. The careers staff and college tutors have input at every stage of a student’s development.

The careers staff is always available and pupils are encouraged to use the department to browse through the resources and chat to the staff at their leisure. They may also obtain careers advice from their tutors or by appointment with the Head of Careers. A number of events and speakers are organized throughout the year, as well as specialist advice about areas such as Medicine, Law, Banking and Finance.

Pupils are urged to consult careers staff before making their final choice of A level subjects and pupils are encouraged to attend careers events and university open days.
