Passmores Academy strives to ensure that all of our students are prepared to make confident, informed and successful decisions at each stage in their school life about their future plans.

A comprehensive careers education programme is in place to support our students from Years 7 through to 11 in helping them to identify their strengths and skills so that they can navigate their way through the diverse range of qualifications on offer, both academic and vocational.  Careers lessons are delivered within our I-Future lessons.

During KS3 students will be supported in looking at their option choices with access to our qualified careers' adviser for one to one guidance.

In KS4 students will learn how to produce CVs and letters of application.  They will attend a mock interview day where they will be interviewed by a local employer.

Moving into their final year all students will have access to a one to one guidance interview with our careers' adviser which parents or carers are welcome to attend. Each year the Careers Team organise a post 16 careers information evening for Yr.s 10 and 11 where all local educational establishments, training providers and some employers will be on hand to discuss post 16 opportunities.

Students will have access to college taster days, outside speakers, apprenticeship workshops and will of course receive impartial advice and guidance from our Careers Adviser.

Local colleges, training providers, employers all play an integral role in the programme, giving our students the opportunity to benefit from a range of experiences in and out of school.

Some of the highlights include:

There is a fully equipped and resourced Careers area in the Learning Resources Centre, where pupils can gain access to detailed information about the wide range of careers available. They can also obtain information through our career software package JED (please see the link careers software resources for more information)

All students have access to our qualified careers advisor Julie Kay at any stage of their education. Please contact via email if you would like to arrange an appointment or have any questions.
