Education and Guidance in Careers

Careers Education and Guidance is provided from Year 9, both in and out of the classroom, including advice about subject options for Years 10 and 11 and Higher Education. At this time students are introduced to research skills, including access to a comprehensive computer programme, that help them to explore a variety of different career options. Students also take part in talks given by visiting speakers, attend careers exhibitions and have the opportunity to discuss prospective future careers with employers.

All students are kept fully informed of the choices available at post-16 and are offered a personal interview with a careers officer from the City of Westminster Careers Service.

Connexions, an advice and guidance service for students aged 13 – 19, is also available. The service offers personal advisors to support students in the transition to work and adult life.

The school has a comprehensive work experience programme and every student has the opportunity of a work placement at the end of Year 10, and during Years 12 and 13. Westminster City School works closely with business and industry as part of the local Education Business Partnership.
