Careers Programme Information

Through a wide range of high-quality careers activities, we aim to support students to develop their employability skills and their awareness of the wide range of future employment opportunities available to them. 

Careers education is an integral part of our PSHCE programme. Students in Years 10 and 12 undertake work experience placements to provide them with ‘real life’ employment experience. We have close links with Hackney’s careers service and have an independent careers advisor who provides one-to-one advice and guidance to students in Years 11 and 13 to assist them in making informed choices about their next steps. 

We enjoy strong links to a number of higher education institutions which enables our students to access a range of activities to enhance their understanding of university study. Additionally, we offer an Oxbridge Preparation Programme to our highest achieving students which starts in Year 11 and carries on in the sixth form. 

Our links to the Worshipful Company of Skinners also allows our students access to information and opportunities relating to employment in a wide range of occupations. Each year, two of our sixth form students are selected to participate in the Skinners’ Company apprenticeship programme, through which they are assigned a professional mentor to support them during and after their time in the sixth form. 

Through this comprehensive careers education and work experience programme, we aim to build our students’ aspirations and ensure that they have the best information available to them to make good decisions about their future educational and careers pathways and ambitions.
