Careers

At Bishopshalt we believe that Careers education makes a major contribution in supporting students to reach their potential.  

There are two qualified Careers Advisers in school who students can meet with for advice and guidance about career pathways. All students will have one CIAG meeting in both KS4 and KS5. Appointments take place throughout the academic year and students can also request a meeting by emailing careers@bishopshalt.school 

Students and their families can access further careers support from the National Careers Service and Prospects

Skills England can also be used to explore entry pathways for a range of careers.

The school's Career Plan for 2024-25 can be found here
Our Careers Education, Information, Advice & Guidance Policy can be found here

This is reviewed and updated every September.

The school measures and assesses the impact of the careers programme on students through the Future Skills Questionnaires and regular feedback from Student Voice.

The Career Lead is Mrs Magee, she can be contacted via email at careers@bishopshalt.school and telephone on 01895 233909
