Careers & Employability

"The school starts career preparation for pupils early. It focuses on building life skills and exploring potential pathways for the pupils. This helps pupils to understand the different career possibilities they have. Sixth-form students have a clear focus on their next step in learning and/or employment. Personalisation of career advice is a strength". (Ofsted, 2024)

A young person’s career is their pathway through learning and work. All young people need a planned programme of activities to help them make decisions and plan their careers, both in school and after they leave.

The school is committed to providing a planned programme of careers education, information and guidance for all students in partnership with Calderdale and Kirklees Careers Service.
