Open throughout the day for pupils of all year groups, the Careers Department always has a member of staff on hand to provide assistance.
At the end of Year 11 and Year 12, pupils are encouraged to take part in work experience, and guidance is offered regarded sourcing suitable placements. In Year 13, students can utilise QED time to gain crucial work experience for entry into highly competitive careers.
