Careers Guidance
At Glenwood School we are committed to preparing our young people for the adult world, supporting them to make realistic and informed decisions.
The careers leader is Mr Myers who can be contacted via the school number 01243 373120.
At Key stage 3, careers guidance is taught cross-curricular which supports pupils’ understanding of the world around them, their social and emotional development by encouraging them to have the confidence to identify their strengths, acknowledge areas for development and how to improve them as well as promoting their decision making, negotiation, self-presentation skills and the confidence to have high aspirations for the future.’
At key stage 4, pupils explore the world of work through industry visits, a practice interview, and a two weeks work experience placement. Pupils also have an opportunity to meet professionals from Hampshire Futures to discuss their interests, ambitions and relevant college courses so by the time the pupils reach Year 11 they are fairly clear about the choices available to them. Parents and carers are also involved in the process. Also the annual Education, Health and Care Plan review provides the formal opportunity to discuss progress, any concerns and also plan for the future. Pupils also have opportunity to gain COPE, AOPE or Health & safety at work (level 1 qualification).

At Glenwood School we are committed to preparing our young people for the adult world, supporting them to make realistic and informed decisions. The 3 main area that consists of self-development, career exploration and career management is embedded in the school curriculum and taught as cross-curricular. We are also committed to support parents and carers, for whom the transition of their child to Further Education can be a daunting and confusing time.
