We provide a diverse careers programme including visits from local employers, alumni, colleges, apprenticeship providers and universities. Our school library is well stocked with careers related resources, including books from the collection www.how2become.com. Students can also access impartial guidance and advice on further education, training or employment.

Our Careers Advisor is Mrs Scott who is full-time in the Careers Office and can be contacted via email mscott@purbeck.dorset.sch.uk

From Year 9 our students have access to Unifrog, which is a one stop careers destination website providing information on every college and university course available in the UK, it has a comprehensive careers library and a live apprenticeship search facility, alongside lots of other careers related information. We provide parents with a Unifrog login to enable them to support and be part of their child’s career journey.
