At Waldegrave School, we are committed to delivering an ambitious and extensive careers programme, which raises aspirations, unlocks potential, breaks down stereotypes and promotes success for all students. Through this provision, we seek to support our students in gaining the necessary knowledge, skills and experiences to make informed choices about their futures and become both leaders of, and contributors to, the workplaces of the future.
As part of this ambition, all students from Y7 to Y13 will have access to a high quality careers programme, comprising a wide variety of activities and events that will collectively ensure they are ready for both the opportunities and challenges presented by the world of work. This will include:
- Interactions with further and higher education providers
- Encounters with employers and employees
- Experience of the workplace
- Access to current careers and progression information
- Personalised and impartial careers guidance
- Embedded links to careers within the curriculum
This vision aligns closely to our whole school values of Enjoy, Achieve, Empower, as we hope that through the programme, students go on to enjoy their future careers, achieve success in their chosen fields and feel empowered to pursue their individual aspirations.
Details of the specific careers programme for each year group can be found below:
