Careers Education & Provision

We recognise that high quality careers guidance is important to help students live life in all its fullness (John 10:10).

Our provision aims to:

  • Help pupils prepare for the workplace, by building self-development and career management skills
  • Provide experience and a clear understanding of the working world
  • Develop pupils’ awareness of the variety of education, training and careers opportunities available to them
  • Help pupils to understand routes to careers that they’re interested in, and to make informed choices about their next step in education or training
  • Promote a culture of high aspirations and equality of opportunity

Our detailed policy of provision in every year group is on the Careers Policy link below. 

Our subject schemes of work include lessons that identify links to different careers and suggestions where employability skills can be developed.

If you would like to contact our careers officer Lisa Williams she can be reached by emailing lwilliams@bhbs.hereford.sch.uk or by telephoning the school on 01432 347501.

Our Careers Lead and Assistant Head is Jonathan Nicholas and school governor responsible for careers is Rich Matthews.
