Year 10

We continue the strong foundation of careers CIEG information and guidance that we have established in Key Stage 3.  Our focus becomes more personalised as we identify programmes for individual students.

All students in Key Stage 4 can enjoy the benefits of the school's Careers and Higher Education Fair and we also offer the following support:

• University/college visits
• Employer day visits
• Labour Market Information: identifying personal skills and careers interest
• Careers assemblies

Year 10 students can also look forward to assistance with preparation for individual career interviews from Julie Tipper, Careers Adviser.

Julie works particularly closely with Year 10/11 students, making sure that they are aware of all their options and are making informed decisions about their future.

You can find out more about planning for your future, here.

Appointments cards are given out in Reflection Time. Appointments can be rearranged if they clash with something vital in lessons. Students can also pop and see Julie at break time, lunchtime or during Xtend to book appointments.

Year 11

As students approach their Post-16 future, we intensify our careers programme to ensure that students feel secure and supported.  A more detailed schedule is in place including:

• The school's Careers and Higher Education Fair
• Overview of all Post-16 options, including further education, vocational courses and apprenticeships
• Support on developing CVs
• Mock Interviews with external partners and Governors
• Invitation to an individual careers guidance interview to discuss students’ future plans
• Support for students making applications for jobs and apprenticeships
• Careers assemblies

Get Into is a useful website which gives you the option to search by institution nationally to see what options are available. Find out more from the Get Into - Kirklees eProspectus.
