Spotlight: Careers and the world of work provision

Careers provision is strong, with valuable opportunities to gain experiences of the world of work. The school works productively with the careers service and pupils are positive about the support and advice they receive. There are worthwhile opportunities for pupils to meet and work with mentors from higher education as well as a wide variety of organisations outside school. There are strong links with local universities and colleges, and the school holds a helpful careers market and provides mock interviews. There is an effective work experience programme for Year 10 and pupils value this opportunity. The junior apprentice programmes and careers fayre provide valuable careers support and guidance for vulnerable pupils.
