Careers and Guidance
Advice on career opportunities is readily available in the Sixth Form, through the tutors, head of learning, Director of Sixth Form, your subject tutors and Connexions. We also have a dedicated career’s co-ordinator, Mrs Val Berry who is on hand to assist in your decision making . Every two years a careers convention is held in school and each year all year 12 students are taken to a major external higher education convention in Manchester. During the Sixth Form, the careers advisor from Connexions will interview all those requiring advice.

Students are encouraged to attend University and College open days as well as courses for prospective applicants in the fields of Maths, Law, Medicine, Engineering, Psychology and Science. A full calendar of events is available on our website or from Student Services. Speakers from the University of Manchester, the University of Salford, the University of Sheffield and The University of Liverpool and Manchester MMU, give presentations to the Sixth Form. |

The school organise a business dynamics course at the end of year 12. Numerous industrialists and business men and women involve students in group work , problem solving and business games. This is followed by a one –day course on interview technique and practise. All students have interviews and sit in on those of others, receiving expert advice from their interviewers. An admissions tutor from a higher education institute gives further advise on writing UCAS forms. Students who are uncertain over higher education courses or career direction can seek additional help through our Student Support Services. Early in year 13 MMU kindly visit us with their road show to help with applications to university.
