Careers

Our Careers Programme aims to ensure all students are well prepared for their future education, employment and training pathways.

Careers education, information, advice and guidance (CEIAG) is delivered through PSHCE in Years 7-11 and through the Sixth Form Personal Development Programme. Students benefit from a wide range of employer encounters, workplace visits, guest speakers and meaningful work experience opportunities in Year 10 and Year 12.

Students receive impartial careers guidance throughout their time at Bishop Heber. All Year 11 students take part in a Futures interview with a member of the Senior Leadership Team, while additional guidance is available from Cheshire West Young People’s Services for eligible students.

Our Careers Programme is developed in line with national careers guidance and the Gatsby Benchmarks. The programme is regularly reviewed and evaluated through Compass+ and destination data to ensure it continues to meet the needs of our students.

Every two years, Bishop Heber hosts a Careers Convention, bringing together employers, training providers, colleges and universities. Students and parents from Years 9-13 are invited to explore a wide range of progression opportunities.
