Careers

At The Joseph Rowntree School, we want our students to feel confident about the future, and we’re
dedicated to helping them gain the skills, knowledge and experience they need for their chosen
careers.

Our Careers programme is based on the Gatsby Benchmarks, the standards for world class careers
guidance for young people in England, and is evaluated regularly through the Compass benchmarking
tool (link latest compass evaluation). From Year 7 upwards, we support and encourage our students
to explore all of the different choices available to them, understand their strengths and qualities, and
feel well prepared for their next steps.

What you can expect:

● Impartial careers advice from a full time Careers Advisor in school.
● Encounters with local employers and taking part in work related activities.
● A balance of high quality careers activities, exploring the full range of options.
