Key Stage 5
Before joining us in Year 12, all students attend a day of transition activities during the summer term of Year 11. During this time all students will complete a comprehensive ‘careers interest survey’ which allows the careers team to have an insight into their current thoughts and knowledge in many areas related to their future options. This allows the Careers Leader to ensure the careers programme is fit for purpose and relevant to all students.
By the end of Stage 5 all students will have:
-
Enhanced their self-knowledge, career management and employability skills.
-
Used online resources and other sources to investigate and explore future choices and progression routes.
-
Been given guidance to help identify a range of Post-18 options.
-
Received guidance through the UCAS application procedure.
-
Been given direct access to employers and universities.
-
Received guidance regarding the procedures and timelines involved in applying for apprenticeships.
-
Been provided with the resources to develop their CVs, personal statements, and interview preparation.
