Next Steps - Year 7/8
You may already have some idea of the career or job you would like to do when you leave school and it's never too early to start planning for your future. In Years 7 and 8, you will be working hard at school to build a strong foundation for your academic progress to ensure that you achieve the very best exam grades you can. This will give you the confidence to make choices to fulfil your academic and employment potential as you move forward into your future life.
