Careers Information for Staff
St Birinus School are developing a network of department based ‘Careers Champions’.
The group will meet approximately 3 times a year and will aim to:
- Raise pupils careers aspirations
- Broaden pupils knowledge of careers that exist
- Increase motivation for pupils to succeed in their subjects
- Pupils ending up in more informed further and higher education options and careers
Planned actions include: department-based careers conferences, career displays in departments, and subject-specific careers information threaded through the curriculum. Your Head of Department or Claire Tuckwell, as Acting Careers Lead, will be able to tell you who your own department Careers Champion is in due course. If you are interested in becoming a Careers Champion or initiating a careers related event within your subject, please do speak to Claire.
