Careers Education
Helping your child make the correct choice at 14 or 16 is very important and the school places great emphasis on equipping pupils with the skills to make an informed decision. Allowing pupils to reflect on their past achievements and learning preferences will allow them to choose the right subject areas with the correct assessment methods to allow them to succeed.
There are many different pathways that can be chosen and it is important that parents, pupil and the school work together to ensure pupils understand the differences between them and to make a choice as to what is right for them. The school organises a variety of different events that will help to inform decision making at the two key times whilst your child is with us.
These include:
- Post 16 Parents Information Evening (see powerpoint presentation from the evening)
-
Post 16 Choices Day
- Key Stage 4 Options Evening
- Careers, Further & Higher Education Convention (in association with The South Cotswold Partnership)
|
The school works in partnership with the Connexions Gloucestershire who exist to provide impartial advice and guidance to pupils in school. |
