Careers, Advice & Guidance
“Careers” – or to use the full title Careers Education, Independent Advice & Guidance – takes place across St Mark’s in a range of ways.
These include pupils receiving taught classes in Years 7 to 10 in Careers as part of the PSHE curriculum and all Year 10 pupils are given the opportunity for one weeks’ work experience. Year 11 follow a bespoke programme of events, which include writing CVs, applications and taking part in an external interview, carried out by local business people. Sessions are run in the Sixth Form to provide opportunities and events for all pupils to engage with specialised work experience and advice and guidance about future plans.
The Careers Library can be found off the corridor between Maths and PE, where pupils can access up-to-date sources such as leaflets, brochures and prospectuses, as well as online resources.
Morrisby Careers- Supporting Careers Education & Guidance.
A programme bought in by St Mark's School, for use in all years, Morrisby Careers is one of the most popular online careers programmes for teenagers. Pupils are helped to register for their own Morrisby account during PSHE lessons during year 7. They can then regularly access their account both in school and at home to access careers advice and complete activities to help them decide which career path is right for them.
