Year 7

In Year 7 students are introduced to enterprise and careers activities in a number of ways and develop skills to help them think about managing a budget and working together as a team. Students are introduced to the Morrisby careers platform which uses their responses to psychometric tests to provide relevant career advice and guidance, parents are able to access the platform via an invitation from their child in order to have meaningful careers conversations together. Students are encouraged to record their experiences and to reflect on their development. This completements the pastoral guidance they also receive.

All pupils in Year 7 are introduced to the idea of a market and identifying customer needs through the launch of the 10x Challenge by an outside speaker in assembly. Students who take part in the 10x Challenge must design a product and then sell this to try and ensure they make a profit of which half is donated to charity, instilling social values into the experience for all students. 

Careers Related Learning takes place in form time and during this time all stduents take part in the Future Skills Questionnaire which allows us to see gaps in students knowledge in order for us to tailor the careers programme to meet their needs.
