Careers and Life Beyond RGS

Our Careers Vision: 

Each and every student will achieve their true potential and be prepared for the ever changing world of work 

 

Our Careers Aims:

  • To enable students to make informed decisions about their future, especially with regard to further and higher education, apprenticeships, and other training and career opportunities.  
  • To enable students to manage the transition from school to new roles and situations
  • To inspire students and give them an understanding of the adult world of employment, locally and nationally
  • To develop character and resilience and give them the skills required to function in life and work through enrichment activities and The Pledge
  • To develop students’ knowledge, skills and understanding through settings and scenarios that relate to the employment sector through deeper applied learning
  • To encourage attainment and lifelong learning so that students can achieve their goals, cope with change and be prepared to take advantage of opportunities throughout their life
  • To give all students the same opportunities so they achieve the best outcomes for them personally

Parents are informed:

  • of choices available to students for KS4 options
  • of education and employment choices available to students after their KS4 by email, with information on the website and at parents evenings
