Our careers programme

Wellsway is committed to providing a rewarding careers education, information, advice and guidance (CEIAG) that raises aspiration, encourages achievement and provides additional school resources to develop independent, life ready young adults. We aim to support every student to actively explore and develop their awareness and understanding of their potential career and educational pathway.

Our Careers Programme is a progressive journey from Year 7-13, and students will experience opportunities such as:  

  • A structured careers programme
  • Careers interviews with an independent careers advisor 
  • Supported access to specialised career websites  
  • Regular employer visits to school  
  • Offsite trips to local businesses, colleges, universities  
  • Career focussed assemblies and PSHE sessions 
  • Up to date information through the Careers Hub, notice boards and the Ammonite 
  • A Challenge Futures programme to support students with applications to the most competitive courses and universities.
