Career programme in the Sixth Form   

Students benefit from a broad array of opportunities. You are given lots of assistance to help you visualise your future, so that you are motivated and purposeful in your approach to your studies. This all helps to lead you to success, whichever career and further education route you decide to pursue.   

Our programme is designed to inspire you about your future career choices. There are lots of enriching activities to open your eyes to the world of possibilities. This includes regular talks by industry experts, comprehensive career advice, workshops led by professionals from diverse sectors, visits to various types of companies, and both on-site and external career and university fairs. Supported by our leading platforms, including UNIFROG and UCAS, you will be well-prepared to secure outstanding results, paving the way to your chosen future. 

You might not know yet which career route you wish to follow, but you'll learn lots about the different opportunities across the working world to help you see the possibilities. We've visited Google, Nestle and Amazon, offered an intern course with Shell, and welcomed professionals from many different careers sectors to speak about their personal trajectory, interests and responsibilities. Work experience in Year 12 is your opportunity to explore potential choices and you will be given lots of support to prepare for this.
