The aim of a Careers Programme is to give students in Years 12 and 13 the skills to make informed choices, manage their progression through learning and help prepare for working life.

The vast majority of our students move on to Higher Education, or some form of Further Education, before progressing on to a career. Most of our students go to the U.K. and Ireland, but students also move on to a wide range of other countries and continents: France, Spain, Italy, Switzerland, Belgium, Holland, U.S.A., Canada, Africa, Australia and Asia.

We take pride in the fact that our students make informed decisions concerning their future choices and are very successful in obtaining a place at their first choice university. In addition, the universities which accept our students belong to the top echelon of the universities in their respective countries.

Today graduate employers look at a student's university, as well as the quality and content of the degree taken. The extensive coverage in the British and International press that is given to examining the worthiness of different degree courses, means that the universities themselves are being continually assessed on the quality and suitability of the Higher Education that they provide.

In order to help students with decisions and to guide them through the whole decision making process, the Sixth Form Tutors, the Head of Sixth Form, the Study Coordinator and the Careers Master will work with them throughout the Sixth Form. In addition, our school uses the services offered by The Independent Schools Careers Organisation (ISCO Futurewise). Year 11 students sit the Morrisby Test and the Futurewise Questionnaire, we feel that these give both students and parents an idea of ability, interests and possible career options. Year 12 students who are new to the school will also take these tests in November so that they are in line with the other students in their year. Representatives of the ISCO Futurewise organisation liaise with the Careers Master and visit the school on a regular basis.

We offer many Careers Events which we hope will help with decisions, in addition to a series of relevant Careers talks throughout the year.
