Careers Guidance

Our vision is to nurture today’s young people and inspire tomorrow’s leaders. We strive to help our young women achieve their very best academically and personally, pursuing the best possible progression pathways after completing their education at our school.

Every student is encouraged to set their sights high for their future, nurture their gifts and make the most of their talents regardless of their background or individual circumstances. To help them prepare for college, university and the world of employment, we provide timely careers guidance, enterprise and leadership initiatives in school.

Through the School’s leadership specialism and our partnership with our Careers and Enterprise Coordinator, we continue to develop links with leading local employers in professions, business, industry and the public, community and voluntary sectors. We invite leading, successful and accomplished women from the community and beyond to inspire our learners to be the very best they can be.

In addition to subject-related career activities, as part of their preparations for the world of work, students participate in an Enterprise programme during KS3 and KS4. Inspirational guest speakers address our students to stimulate their business acumen during intense enterprising endeavours.  Universities such as University of Reading, Brunel University and University of Oxford (Brasenose College) are also invited regularly to offer students an overview of their progression pathways through interactive and engaging sessions.

Year 11 students are offered one to one independent advice and guidance interviews to explore their post 16 options to pursue their post 18 education goals.  These guidance interviews provide an overview of students and their options including Apprenticeships and information on the current Labour Market.
Our annual Careers Fair and Aspirations Day as well as Apprenticeship Day takes place in the summer term.  Inspiring guest speakers provide a keynote address before students explore from various sectors.

Our CEIAG provision is evaluated with students, teachers and employers on an annual basis.  As a result of the feedback from our stakeholders, we are:

  • Improving the information provided on the school website.
  • Appointing and inducting a new Careers’ Education Tutor.
  • Improving the quality of the administration, management and communication of work experience placements.
  • Improving the delivery of careers’ education and work-related learning in each subject across the curriculum – and signpost this provision.
  • Improving how bespoke the careers’ education is and how it meets the needs of each student.
  • Involving parents more in delivering and designing the careers’ education provision.
  • Signposting how the school’s careers’ education meets the eight Gatsby Benchmarks.
  1. A stable career programme.
