Our Year 10 students benefit from personalised careers guidance provided by our external Careers Advisor, Mel Ponteresso. These one-to-one or small group sessions help students to explore their next steps – whether that’s sixth form, college, or an apprenticeship.

The advice is tailored to each student’s interests and aspirations, offering support and clarity as they prepare for the next stage of their education journey. It’s a valuable opportunity to ask questions, gain insight, and feel more confident about the future.

New for 2026 – Year 10 Mock Interview Day

This is a new feature for Year 10 and will take place in July 2026. Our annual Mock Interview Day is a well established event designed to prepare students for the world of work. With the support of our dedicated team of volunteers, students take part in one-to-one interviews and receive valuable, personalised feedback to help them build confidence and improve their interview skills. This experience plays a key role in developing employability and communication skills, and it is an important part of our careers programme.
