Careers at Blythe Bridge High School & Sixth Form – Parents
Careers provision for year groups:
It is our aim to provide each year group in school with a tailored programme to meet their needs. Programme themes are reviewed annually in the summer term. Many of our areas of focus are centered around reaching the GATSBY benchmarks. We review the programmes annually, and at the beginning of every term we complete the 360 diagnostic tool to ensure that as a school we are meeting the needs of every students and identify areas for development.
We have a careers pathway; the journey that every student takes over the five or seven years. This is to track external business encounters and ensure parody across each year group.
