Careers Education
Vision
Our vision is to raise students’ aspirations to future possibilities and inspire their interest in the range of exciting opportunities and experiences available to them. We strive to provide our students with the confidence, skills, and knowledge to transition successfully into society and the world of work. Our intention is always to close the gap amongst our disadvantaged students and their peers. Through our careers curriculum, we want to provide students with equal access to a stable careers programme which enables students to make informed decisions and reach their full potential.
