Career Advice

In today’s complex, competitive and rapidly changing world we recognise the importance of ensuring that a high quality careers provision exists for all pupils. Careers education is provided in the curriculum for all pupils from specialist careers staff under the direction of Mrs McNiece (Head of Careers) and Miss Byrne (Head of Employability).

Careers Education, Information and Guidance (CEIAG) is primarily delivered through Employability classes and activities in Years 8-12 and through our General Studies programme in Year 13.
