Year 9

Careers Programme 🎯

Your future is starting to take shape!

In Year 9, your careers journey becomes more exciting and more real. This is the year where you’ll start thinking seriously about your GCSE options and how they can connect to your future goals.

This year, you will:

• 🧭 Explore different career pathways and what subjects they link to
• 📝 Learn how your GCSE choices can keep your future options open
• 💡 Discover more about your strengths, interests, and ambitions
• 🗣️ Build confidence in key skills like decision-making, communication, and teamwork

You’ll be supported to make informed choices that are right for you — whether you already have a dream career in mind or are still exploring your options.

Remember, there’s no “perfect” path — it’s about choosing subjects you enjoy, challenging yourself, and keeping doors open for the future.

✨ Big decisions are ahead… what will you choose?
