Careers Education and Guidance

Pupils in Y7 and 8 complete units of work which include topics on self-awareness, self-development, key skills, transition issues and the world of work.
The Careers Advisor attached to the school assists with this work and is available to provide individual interviews if required.
Advice, guidance and information is also available in the Careers section of the school library.

     

As a joint project between English and PSHCEE, year 8 pupils were involved in applying for work at 'Happy Valley Holidays' - a fictitious leisure site.
Pupils had to respond to job adverts with a letter of application stating their qualifications and experience. Local employers or working people came into school for a morning of interviewing. Pupils were required to dress for the part and role play their character. It was a challenging morning but we believe beneficial to both employers and pupils!  To be repeated.  Many thanks to those involved for giving their working time.
                

Year 7 were involved in an afternoon of information for the future. Four local people shared about their work and why they had taken on those occupations.  A pharmacist, a policeman, a hairdresser and a Yorkshire Park ranger - all with stories of their everyday experiences and the skills needed to tackle the job. Pupils appreciated the afternoon and were surprised at some of the training necessary for the work.  Again thanks to all involved.
