Careers education is part of the carefully planned PHSCE programme experienced by all students in Years 7 – 11 in form groups. It helps students to prepare for option choices in Year 9, to develop an Individual Careers Action Plan and to plan for their post-16 pathways. In addition, students have a weekly ‘Future Focus’ session during form time, which broadens their understanding of different work-related themes.

In Year 10, the programme prepares students for Work Experience, and every student has an opportunity for one week’s work experience with a local employer.

We also run a popular annual Careers Fair, attended by local colleges and employers.

Staff have access to additional resources for Careers on our internal digital platforms.

If you have any questions about careers guidance, please contact our Careers Lead, Mrs Wycherley, at lwycherley@earls.dudley.sch.uk or by telephoning the school on 01384 816105.
