Careers – Thinking about the future?

We will support your child/young person towards the best possible future pathway. We will work closely with you on your child`s hopes, dreams and aspirations.

Careers is now part of our core curriculum offer and it is taught throughout the school from Years 7 -11. 

Throughout Key Stage 3 pupils are drawn towards careers, staff make contextual links to give pupils insight into which careers are available linked to the subject. We keep careers in mind throughout curriculum planning and promotion of gaining key skills for working life remains a focus.

Throughout Key Stage 4 we maintain the focus on careers but increase exposure by providing discreet lessons as well as work experience opportunities. The children and young people have the opportunity to further explore all the options open to them e.g. College or employment with training and apprenticeships. During Year 10 and 11 there are also regular meetings with our Careers Advisor for further bespoke careers advice and guidance.

At Wings School Notts we recognise the benefits of volunteering and look at opportunities to give young people this experience, to not only enhance a CV or gain valuable work experience but also to be a positive member of the community and pass on their kindness and enthusiasm.

We have an annual careers fair involving a variety of employers such as the armed services, fire service and paramedics. We have excellent links with these services, and they regularly come into the school to run fun filled activity days advising on opportunities and careers.

As part of our Careers Week here at Wings School Notts the children in Key Stage 4 have the opportunity to engage in an 'Amazing Apprenticeship Assembly'. Children learn about the different types of apprenticeships available and the various pathways they might take to achieve one. The 'Amazing Apprenticeship Assembly' programme is designed to give schools, colleges and other educational establishments across England free support to develop and transform how students think about apprenticeships. Children also have the opportunity to engage with the instructor at the end of the session to talk about their career ambitions and how they could successfully achieve their apprenticeship.
