How we provide careers advice & guidance:

Providing the highest quality careers information, education, advice and guidance is important to us at Brompton Hall. We aim to ensure that every student is equipped with the skills, abilities, and qualifications for the next stage of their educational journey whether it be at college or through an apprenticeship or traineeship. Our careers programme begins in year 7 when we begin to explore options and raise aspirations in partnership with a wide range of post 16 providers and careers educators.

All young people are required by law to continue in education or training until they are 18 and we are committed to ensuring that they are able to progress to the most appropriate post 16 option which might be at a sixth form or FE college, apprenticeship or traineeship.

There is a carefully tailored programme for every year group, which involves careers education in lessons, visits to colleges and employers as well as careers fairs and employer engagement days. Our strategy is designed to develop core skills for employability including personal, learning and thinking skills in enterprise, problem solving and communication.

We are very proud of our record in ensuring our students progress to the right destination post 16.
