December. During the Spring Term, students<br />
will be discussing their options and possible<br />
post-16 career with their PSHCE Teacher.<br />
Students will be using ‘JED’ (Job Explorer<br />
Database) which can also be accessed from<br />
home on the school’s MLE. On Jed, students<br />
can explore college and university courses and<br />
future job roles in order to inform their choices.<br />
All Year 9 students will have an interview with a<br />
member of the school’s Senior Leadership Team<br />
to discuss their options. Form Mentors will also<br />
be using morning registration time to discuss<br />
options and facilitating conversations between<br />
students in Years 9-11.<br />
