Careers & Education |
 |
The college attaches great importance to preparing scholars for future careers and further education. All scholars are introduced to the Careers Department in the third year.
Included within the college fee is membership of the Independent Schools Careers Organisation (ISCO) for all fifth-form parents and scholars. Accordingly all fifth-form scholars take the ISCO Morrisby psychometric tests which provide a profile of individual strengths and weaknesses. Based upon that, together with our knowledge of the scholar, and the in-depth interview with his or her tutor, the careers staff and the regional director of ISCO, possible career options are discussed prior to recommending an appropriate course of study.
At the end of the fifth year there is the opportunity for a one-week work experience programme.
Throughout the sixth form years the careers staff provide guidance, arrange practice interviews and help with the selection of University and career options. The success of our scholars in gaining entry to their first choice university reflects the wisdom of the advice given. Since 1996 approximately 5% of leavers have proceeded to Cambridge University. |
