Throughout their time at The Corbet School, your child will be part of many school events and have the opportunity to attend trips and activities specifically focussed on their Careers Education. Highlights of previous years are Careers Fairs, College Visits, In House Taster Days and not least the annual Year 10 Work Experience.
All students take part in timetabled PSHEE and Life Skills Lessons (Focus Days in Year 9) where there is a thematic approach to Careers Education. This learning is supplemented by Tutor Time activities, themed assemblies and ‘one off’ events.
At KS4, your child will attend their 1:1 Careers Appointment with our Independent Careers Advisor who will support, encourage and most importantly ensure that as they progress towards the end of their time at The Corbet School, there are ideas in place for the future and plans for the ‘next steps’. In addition to this, your child may be invited to attend a Careers Forum, a new addition to the Careers Programme for September 2023. Each session will be led by a member of the Careers Team at The Corbet School and be aimed at those students who perhaps need a little boost in their careers learning.
If you would like to arrange a session for your child to meet with a member of the Careers Team, please use the link below to register. One of the team will get in touch to make the necessary arrangements and select the best course of action.
In Year 10, your child will take part in a Work Experience placement. Although we encourage all of our students to plan and arrange this independently, the Careers Team here at The Corbet School are always available to assist where needed.
During Year 11, whilst supporting all of our students working towards the GCSE Examination Season, there is a focus on ensuring that the path out of The Corbet School is clear for all students. Access to Post 16 information is clearly given or signposted where appropriate (you’ll find many links within the Careers pages of our website). There will also be support provided when applying to Post 16 Providers or other training providers.
Our commitment to Careers Education is evaluated externally throughout the academic year using the Gatsby Benchmarks, nationally recognised standards. In addition to this, our Careers Programme is reviewed annually to ensure our students needs are met. Feedback is sought from our students on numerous occasions, and we would welcome any thoughts you may have.
