Careers Information
Careers education is given a high priority to enable students to meet the considerable challenge of the world outside school. To this end, a comprehensive careers guidance programme is provided for all students by the school careers staff and other agencies.
Careers' teaching in the school encourages all students to make a thorough assessment of their talents and personalities, and to collect information about the range of careers available. Later, when decisions have to be made about their choices at 16+, students will receive advice on writing up a curriculum vitae, writing letters of application and preparing for interview. This will place them in a strong position to get suitable jobs or to gain the appropriate places on College or University courses.
Careers Officers will usually work with students in Year 10 and above.
This may involve individual interviews which parents may attend. Careers
officers also attend our Y9 and Y11 consultation evenings. Younger students
can visit the "Careers Clinic" at the Area Careers Office for consultation
and advice.
Business & Industry Links
To prepare our students fully for adult and working life in a rapidly changing world, the school has developed links with the local business community. These links are initiated through a range of curriculum areas and the tutorial programme.
Work Experience
The Angmering School has a strong tradition of providing work experience for students. Over many years the school has established numerous work experience contacts in a wide variety of areas of employment.
In preparation for the world of work, all Y10 students undertake 1 week of work experience in the Summer Term. GNVQ students also undertake a variety of work placements depending upon their interest and course needs. Placements are organised by the student and the school and are carefully supervised.
