Careers Education & Year 11 next steps

Northwood is committed to ensuring our young people are in a position to make enlightened, ambitious yet realistic decisions about their future careers, to have secured a place on the route that is right for them and to possess the skills and mind-set that will help them succeed throughout their lives.

Our vision ensures each student has a clear Career Pathway from Year 7, that addresses the ever-changing world of work. We provide students with opportunities to be leaders of tomorrow, we equip them with the skills and knowledge to make informed decisions about their future and be resilient young people who are ready to take their place in society. Our comprehensive Careers Curriculum will ensure they meet employers, have workplace encounters, consider careers linked to the curriculum and understand how our labour market changes over time.  

Our Careers Education Information and Guidance (CEIAG) programme enables pupils, parents, teachers and employers to access and understand what the school has to offer in terms of its careers provision.  It is modelled around best practices for careers under the Gatsby Benchmarks.
