| Careers is a cross curricular theme and as such will be dealt with, where appropriate, in all subjects and at all levels within school. The first direct careers input will come in Year 10 when the Year Tutor will explain to the pupils the choices for Key Stage 4 and the implications of those choices as well as the relevant issues that should be considered in the decision-making process. Careers is timetabled in Year 12. It is skills based covering - decision making, study skills, interview skills as well as writing letters of application and C.V's. The pupils in Year 12, in addition to having access to their Year Tutor, will be interviewed by the Careers Officer from the local Training and Employment Agency. Careers plans are discussed with individual pupils, parents, the Headmaster and the Year Tutor at the special interviews in February, following the mock examinations. Work Experience is organized for those who return to school in Year 13, when the pupils will go on placement for a week in May/June to a mutually agreed work site. On a regular basis school pupils are given the opportunity to participate in Special Conferences related to industry under the auspices of NISTRO. |
