Careers Information Reported by: Miss Halsall Each term in the careers department there a set of objectives, goals and challenges to be met. This term has been very focused on Year 11 and their future pathways. Although we are opening our own sixth form we have a duty to provide impartial careers advice for all of our students and support them in finding the most suitable route for them as an individual. Year 11 has been visiting a variety of Colleges and Sixth Forms and some have also taken part in taster sessions. They have all undergone mock interviews which are quite comprehensive and have helped them to prepare well for their forthcoming formal interviews. I wish them well in their mocks after Christmas and hope that all of the hard work pays off! GCSE Presentation Evening 2014 Reported by: Miss Halsall We had a lovely time welcoming back our class of 2014 for their GCSE presentation evening. It is always a pleasure to see past students thriving in their new environments and this year was no exception. Everyone is following the individual path most appropriate for them and seem to be very happy and settled. Each student was presented with their GCSE certificates and received a personal accolade from Mr Shaw.
