Intensive, personalised support is provided through a range of activities taking place in and outside of school, involving input from form tutors and our dedicated Careers Adviser Miss Doyle, who is available for 1:1 appointment throughout the year.

Students use a comprehensive online platform, Unifrog, through their time in Sixth Form to research, plan and engage with career-related opportunities. Our Aiming High programme targets our most academically able students and includes sessions delivered by the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge, together with specific support for students considering careers in Medicine, Veterinary Medicine, Dentistry and Law, where admissions tests are required in addition to very strong UCAS applications.
