Building on the progress made in Key Stage 3, topics covered from the middle of Year 10 include Preparation for Work Experience and Sexual Health Education. We encourage all students to self-generate a work experience placement for the following October and provide help and support for those students who need it. In Year 11 students will be given the opportunity to work towards an ASDAN Level 1 or 2 qualification in Career Planning which covers subjects such as ‘rights and responsibilities’ in the workplace, writing CVs and letters of application, going for a successful interview, researching a future career and dealing with personal finances effectively. Time is also spent looking at revision techniques ahead of the GCSE exam season.
