Three Career Talks are organised every year for all students. Approximately 15 employers come into the College for each event, to give a presentation to students regarding their profession. This includes advice for entry, describing a typical day and opportunity for students to ask questions. |
| Students can select the talk to attend which most closely represents their career interests - either to increase their insight, or to widen their experiences and horizons hearing about a career they don’t have much knowledge of. This not only gives them an opportunity to receive up-to-date, independent career and job information and advice, but can also be a useful networking opportunity. |

Our careers events 26th November 2020 and 10th February 2021 have been cancelled due to the pandemic. In their place we are running a Careers Season in tutor time during the spring term. |

Pupils and sixth-form students feel safe. They say that they are listened to by staff and so feel settled and happy at school.
