Careers

At Ponteland High School we aim to provide all pupils with a rich careers education. We want all our pupils to have the knowledge, skills and experience to access the career of their choice. 

Our drop-in careers service is available to all year groups and is a great starting point for pupils entering the options process. Drop in sessions allow students to discuss their option choices, identify useful websites and resources and explore future career aspirations. 

Would you like to meet our Careers Co-ordinator, Mrs Bowring to talk about your options. Fill out the form linked here and she will get in touch via pastoral to organise a one to one or small group appointment.

Careerometer provides access to a selection of UK headline data relating to pay, weekly hours of work and future employment prospects for different occupations, as well as description of the occupation.

Simply type in the title of the job you are interested in and the widget provides a series of options from which you can select the most relevant to you. You can then look up another occupation and compare. You can also select ‘display the UK average’ and compare the information with the occupation you have selected.
