Careers
Joseph Rowntree School is committed to developing the life chances of all students, and aims to encourage and inspire them through a comprehensive programme of CEIAG.
Students take part in a wide ranging Careers Education package which includes looking at different options and taking part in activities which helps them to understand their own strengths and qualities.
In year 10 there is an opportunity for students to take part in work experience which will provide a chance to get to know an employer and the work place.
Joseph Rowntree School have close ties with local employers and other outside agencies who are invited into school to discuss different career paths and enable students to gain independent and impartial advice about the options which are best suited to them as individuals.
All students have access to an internal L6 Careers Adviser and pathway meetings with senior leaders. The advice students receive is high quality impartial careers guidance, which helps them to make informed choices about which courses suit their academic needs and aspirations.
The careers curriculum is enriched through external support with employability embedded into the curriculum across all key stages.
We measure the impact of our careers programme termly through the use of the Compass Careers benchmarking tool. This evaluates our programme against national benchmarks and helps us to identify areas for further development. The next review of our programme will take place on 7th April 2022.
