Bishop Stopford School provides a planned programme of careers education, information, advice and guidance (CEIAG), that is incorporated in all year groups to stimulate students' interests in the world of work, prepare them for the opportunities, responsibilities and experiences of learning and life; inspiring them to reach their full potential.
Our Commitment
The Careers Programme has three main aims:
-
Self-Development - enabling students to understand themselves, their strengths and the influences on them, acquiring the core competencies and skills necessary to enable them to access a range of opportunities
-
Career Exploration - investigation of opportunities in learning and work, understanding the changing world of work and labour market information
-
Career Management - developing skills enabling themselves to make and adjust plans and to manage change and transitions.
Details of the Key Stage 3 programme (Years 8 & 9) and Key Stage 4 (Years 10 & 11) can be found in the relevant curriculum booklets located here. Details of the Key Stage 5 programme can be found here.

The Careers Team
The school has a dedicated careers team who are here to help guide students through their career and future options.
