Careers Programme

Our careers programme starts with our Futures lessons in years 7 and 8. Each student has 1 futures lesson per fortnight, during these lessons they will explore a vast array of careers, coupled with understanding their post 16 opportunities.

The intent of this programme is to equip our students make incredibly well informed choices about their option subjects in Key Stage 4 and begin visualising their preferences Post 16.

Key Stage 4 students have access to a careers support sharepoint site [Oakmoor Office365 account required]. This site offers updated information on careers information and Post-16 support.
