We Care to Challenge

 

A group of  excited Year 11's headed over to Farnborough Airport on 7th November 2019 to attend the Vertical Flight Expo. The students had talks from Royal Air Force, British Airways, Bristow Helicopters, Search & Rescue and Virgin.

The students heard about the different ways into various careers like flying, engineering and cabin crew. Students were then able to explore the hall where lots of companies, with some very cool gadgets, linked to aviation had stands.

 

Careers

"High-quality guidance informs students of their future options and prepares them very well for employment, training or further education." (Ofsted)

The Wavell has a very comprehensive careers programme. Careers lessons are delivered by Form Tutors through the PSHE programme in conjunction with citizenship, and cover a range of topics including decision-making, self-awareness and communication. Students have access to a well-maintained Careers Resources Library within the LRC which is staffed throughout the day.

Resources available include:

  • College prospectuses
  • A library of books and information leaflets on individual career choices
  • Access to web-based resources such as the Careers software package Kudos 

 The Wavell School will make available a range of education and training providers to ensure students are informed about academic qualifications, approved technical qualifications and apprenticeships.
