Careers Education,
Information, Advice and Guidance (CEIAG) is provided at all key stages and
students benefit from expert guidance through the services of specialist staff.
In particular we adopt a pupil centred approach aiming to equip students with
the skills necessary to make informed decisions.
Work Experience/Shadowing is offered to all Year
13 students. The aim is to provide the students with a valuable opportunity, to
experience the world of work.
