Supporting your future success Careers Education and Information, Advice and Guidance Richard Challoner School is committed to preparing students for the future. This isn’t just through the curriculum but also by supporting them to think about their career choices and informing them about all the pathways that are available after leaving education. We aim to inspire and motivate students to explore the best way for them as an individual and recognise that in today’s world this may look very different to those from a few years ago. Students are seen as individuals and as a school we understand they won’t all follow the same paths at post 16 and 18 transition. Careers education and Independent information, advice and guidance is important to every student and here at Richard Challoner School and we believe every student should have access to and receive support in planning their future. How do we do this? Every year group from year 7-13 has a careers unit as part of their tutorial programme which focuses on key transitional points and how to explore yourself and your skills as you learn and grow.
