Careers Guidance

Impartial* Career Guidance is an essential part of the educational process by which young people, from the earliest years, develop the abilities to make well informed and realistic career decisions, from what GCSE subjects to choose to what to do after their GCSEs, how to get a job or apprenticeship, and many other topics.

*meaning we do not recommend any institution over others, but make pupils aware of all options and institutions and allow them to form their own preferences, based on factors such as travel, experience on a visit, course availability etc.

By Year 11 all students have had the opportunity to have at least one appointment with an impartial Careers Adviser qualified to Level 6 in Career Guidance and Development. Those at risk of NEET / SEND or vulnerable students can be seen more than once.

Our Careers Adviser is also available to support the GCSE options process in Year 9 and all students have access to independent careers advice by request or referral from Year 7-11. Referrals can be made via their progress leaders, learning tutors of directly via our careers team careers@meolscop.co.uk

Parents/carers are also welcome to request or attend a careers interview for their son or daughter by using the same email address or calling school

In addition to this, our Careers Advisor is available at parent’s evenings from Year 9 onwards, as well as being on hand to provide support on GCSE results day.
