Universities & Careers

We are proud of our Careers provision at Princethorpe; our aim is to equip pupils with the necessary skills to make informed decisions regarding their future. We believe the Careers Education forms a fundamental part of the development of a young person and underpins the development of goals and high aspirations, thus contributing to academic success and individual personal fulfilment. 

Pupils in Years 7, 8 and 9 can request a meeting with one of the Careers team at any stage of the school year and Mrs Quinney, Head of Careers, attends parents' evenings in Year 9 where pupils are making GCSE choices. Parents are also very welcome to get in touch at any time for any advice.

During Year 10, all students receive a Careers interview with a member of the Careers team and will use the profiling tool, Kudos, to assist them in deciding which career areas might be of interest to them. Pupils also use Unifrog which enables them to explore the world of higher education and work out what A-level subjects might be most useful to them. Careers guidance is offered throughout Year 10 and 11 by the Careers team, guiding pupils to suitable A-level choices, or to other courses and careers available to them. Small group discussions also take place during Year 11 in interest related groups, such as medicine or law.
