Careers
Welcome to our Careers area
All students benefit from a robust careers, work related learning and enterprise programme which is often held up as best practice by the Liverpool City Region Careers Hub. This is supported heavily by our partners, Everton in the Community, Elevate EBP, Shaping Futures, Racing to Schools Aintree - Racecourse Beacon project as well as many employers, universities, apprenticeship providers and college links. Our extensive partnership work, employability and aspirations programme ensures destination data is progressive and consistent each year for all students. Information and links on this webpage are updated annually in July.
Students, including students in the sixth form, benefit from a strong careers education, information, advice and guidance programme. A high proportion of pupils move on to further education and training, including those pupils with SEND. In the sixth form, many students progress on to university. Ofsted 2022
