Careers

In the Sixth Form, we prepare our students for their lives beyond school by supporting with the UCAS application process and by encouraging the girls to consider their own futures. 

Our main focus as an academic Sixth Form is their University placement and we offer a full and varied programme of talks and discussions - including outside speakers from universities as diverse as Cambridge, Manchester and Southampton - to try to help them make the right choices.

On the afternoon of 13 June 2011, we were delighted to be able to welcome Mrs Abi Parker of ‘Potential Directions Ltd.’, who came in to school to run a workshop designed to help the students further consider what kinds of people they are, where their individual strengths might lie and therefore what sorts of courses and careers they should be applying for in the future; we know the event was of valuable assistance to the girls. 

This was complimented by a visit on the evening of 14 June 2011 by Ben Goldblum, Manchester University’s Student Co-ordinator who came to talk to the girls about choosing the right University course. In addition to such events, we continue to add value by undertaking sessions with the girls on university life, student finance and career choices.

We also, of course, have the Careers Fair to which a vast array of different employers are invited.  We are proud of the fact that our girls go on to study a wide range of courses from Medicine to Events Management at universities as disparate as Oxford and Liverpool John Moores.
