Careers
Careers education is taught as an integral part of the PSHE programme from years 7-11. In years 9-11 the careers adviser takes an active role in lessons and provides guidance on an individual basis. In addition to work done in PSHE, all of our pupils have a Unifrog account which gives them access to a wealth of careers related resources. Once a week during form time all of our pupils take part in Future Careers Friday led by their Form Tutor.
Up-to-date information is available through the Careers Advisor. All pupils in Year 11 receive one to one careers guidance from an external Level 6 qualified Careers Expert. In addition to this guidance all Bowland pupils experience work related learning in a week-long placement with a variety of employers. Other meaningful encounters include:
- Attendance at the Ribble Valley Careers Fair
- Mock Interview Day
- Army Day
- STEM Tournaments
- Cyber Tournaments
- Day visits to local employers
- Weekly College Information – Y11
