Career Development
Queen Ethelburga’s adopts an enlightened and positive approach
to career development, helping all pupils, throughout their school career, to make plans for
later life based upon their abilities and interests. The subject is well resourced; our computer
database includes substantial careers information, as do the schools’ libraries.
Talks and presentations by outside speakers provide objective information which supplements the discussions held between pupils and teachers at formal and informal levels. The school is a member of the Independent Schools Careers Organisation. The pupils’ longer-term objectives become more clearly focused and form a strong basis for success at GCSE and sixth form study because career targets, and the means of attaining them, have been thoroughly understood.
