Advice and guidance

PHSEE Lessons

In Year 7 and 8 there were modules on careers and over the coming weeks students will have a series of lessons based in a computer room of the library working with their PHSEE teacher and our careers advisor investigating careers and the options process. 

Form time curriculum

Each week on a Thursday students have learnt about a new career – this started way back in Year 7 and has continued through Year 8 and 9.

The careers are explored using the BBC Bitesize and i-Could websites, which use inspirational videos, case studies and labour market information to inform students and promote discussion.
