EMPOWERING FUTURES:
CAREERS, CONFIDENCE
AND ASPIRATION
Preparing students for life beyond the Foundation remains a central commitment.
This year marked a significant step forward, with the Specialist
College successfully passing its first careers quality assurance
review, recognising the strength of its careers education and
guidance.
REAL WORLD EXPERIENCES
College learners accessed meaningful real-world experiences,
including voluntary work at Royal Armouries and specialist
placements such as SMJ Falconry, where one student achieved
an exceptional 98% assessment score. Looking ahead, five
students have applied for the Greene King SEN Internship
Programme starting in September.
In School, students explored future pathways through carefully planned work experience,
including placements as DT and Science technicians and within local fitness centres. These
opportunities helped students build confidence, understand workplace expectations, and
imagine future possibilities.
EXPLORATION, GUIDANCE, AND ASPIRATION
Our whole-Foundation Careers Day brought School and College students together to explore
diverse industries such as cyber security, forensic science, robotics, and engineering.
Personal stories from visiting professionals inspired
reflection and aspiration, while individual careers
interviews and mock applications supported students to
develop practical skills, confidence, and self-belief.
