Careers Education at Park View School

At Park View School, we help every student grow in confidence and learn what they need to choose their own future. We want all our young people to discover different job choices and feel ready for life after school.

From Year 7 to Year 11, every pupil takes part in our careers programme. This helps them:

• Learn about different jobs and what bosses look for

• Find out what qualifications and skills they will need

• See how school subjects link to real-life careers

What Students Get to Do

We follow 8 national rules for high-quality career advice. While at our school, students can:

• Meet local employers and learn about different jobs

• Look into college courses and extra training

• Try out work experience in areas they enjoy

• Take hands-on job courses at our Vocational Centre, such as Welding and Engineering

Extra Support and Information

Our website has helpful links for parents and students to explore colleges, training teams, and employers.

Our Careers Lead, Elliott Smith, meets regularly with students and families to offer guidance and help with their next steps into college, training, or jobs.

Checking Our Success

We check how well our careers plan works by looking at:

• How much students take part

• Student progress

• What parents and students tell us

• Numbers of students moving on to college, training, or work

We publish our full careers plan at the start of every school year and update it annually (6th September 2027) .
