Careers advice

The CTK6 Careers programme

The CTK6 Careers programme is comprehensive and designed to meet the needs of our cohort. We aim to develop the programme yearly in order to ensure that CTK6 students are kept up to date with the latest developments and opportunities.

As part of our Career’s programme we offer students individual advice on career opportunities that would be suitable for them. UCAS advice is tailored around the needs and aspirations of what our students would like to do in the future. Our programme includes:

• An informed transition into Year 12

• A bespoke Sixth form Mentoring programme

• A full week of career’s advice including opportunities to meet professionals and engage in interview practice.

• A week of Work Experience in which students can select placements that interest them

• Knowledgeable staff able to give advice on future career opportunities.

• A full UCAS programme including provision for early entry to Oxbridge and Medical qualifications.

We are proud as an institution in meeting and fulfilling each of the Gatsby Benchmarks for education:

1. A stable Careers programme

2. Learning from Career and labour market information

3. Addressing the needs of each pupil

4. Linking curriculum learning to careers

5. Encounters with employers and employees

6. Experience of workplaces

7. Encounters with further and higher education

8. Personal Guidance

Mrs Smith, our Independent Careers Advisor is available to give advice and guidance regarding career opportunities, improving employability, training and apprenticeships as well as further education course information in order to assist you to make these important decisions. Advice regarding UCAS and all other university information is delivered by external agencies, personal tutors, Ms Cunningham (Director Sixth Form) and Mr Lawson (Assistant Director of Sixth Form). Students receive 1-1 support with personal statements and completing their UCAS, apprenticeship and employment applications. Further information and guidance can be found on our CTK6 UCAS tab or at www.ucas.com as well as Unifrog. All CTK6 students have full access to Unifrog, the platform. We bring all the available information into one single, impartial, user-friendly platform that helps students to make the best choices, and submit the strongest applications.
