Careers Education

As a Trust we understand that everyone’s career path is personal and also adapts over time. As a result, we offer an extensive range of guidance and opportunities that start from Year 7 and adjust to meet changing aspirations throughout.

All students are given the opportunity to visit colleges, universities and workplaces, and experience first-hand potential routes for them. Students are given access to a large range of potential employers who visit through scheduled lunchtimes and breaktimes, along with full days of employer speed-dating events.

Students will be guided and supported to make a decision that is right for them as they move through Key Stage 3 and GCSE level study, and on to post-16 education and beyond. We are proud to work with multiple partners such as York St John University, Coventry University Scarborough, GCHQ, Anglo American and Haven, all of who allow students to think widely and deeply about how they would like their career after school to progress.

All our students have regular access to an independent careers advisor who will guide them via informal chats about career paths as well as by more formal scheduled careers appointments.

Students are offered opportunities to participate in ‘Meet the employee/employer’ events, to attend Scarborough STEM week at Scarborough Spa and to have a one to one interview with someone from the world of work, to build the skills and confidence as they move through years 7 to 11.
