Careers information for our pupils
Our Vision:
“Our students are achieving informed pupils who have high aspirations with a desire to succeed beyond school. They can and will achieve whatever they set their minds to; there is no ceiling.”
At Holy Trinity we are passionate about creating a career journey which starts in year 7 and builds each year ensuring you have the skills and knowledge to succeed in your future ambitions. We aim to do this by developing the following objectives each year:
Year group | Objectives | Measurable outcomes. |
7 | My Talent Increase student awareness of their strengths and weakness linking to the world of careers. | Students can list their strengths and weaknesses and link them to at least 3 different careers. |
8 | My Goals Increase student exposure to the world of work. | All students have experienced at least 3 different external providers and some students and virtually explored a Further Education establishment. |
9 | My Options Increase student knowledge of Further Education and the various pathways and how options link to this. | To be able to list at least 3 different university course apprenticeships or vocational courses which link to a field they have interest in. |
10 | My Pathways Develop students understanding of post 16 options which are on offer to them. | Students are able to list the different pathways at post 16 and know how to access them. |
11 | My Future Ensuring all students have a 1:1 interview and are fully prepared for the next steps. | Students are able to explicitly describe their chosen pathway and explain the next steps with clarity and confidence. |

The School will assess the impact of its careers programmes on students by completing an annual student survey and analysing destinations data in line with activities that they have taken part in at school. In addition, the views of students and parents will be surveyed after key events e.g. Parents evenings, careers weeks and term reviews.
Holy Trinity Catholic School believes in giving FE, HE and training providers the opportunity to talk to pupils at the school.
