Careers

Choosing the right career path is a challenging task. At Our Lady of Sion School, students are supported with a variety of age appropriate activities in Careers.  The aim is to expose students to a variety of occupations and education choices so that they can consider for themselves the path that is right for them. This includes visiting speakers and ex-students discussing higher education, business and various professions.

We have a range of online resources available for students to utilise in researching study and career options.

Year 9

Careers sessions play an important role in the selection of GCSE subjects during Year 9. Students are encouraged to think reflectively and realistically about their first steps along the decision making path.

Years 10 & 11

In Year 10, students are introduced to the options available at 16+ including A levels, BTECs, Apprenticeships and other pathways. The Autumn Term of Year 11 is a key moment in shaping a student’s future: at Sion each student has an individual ‘action plan’ interview with a follow up to ensure that they are happy with the choices that they have made and, during the Autumn Term, a Careers Evening is held for parents and students as a forum for discussion regarding their next steps.

We welcome local businesses and professionals to speak to our students about career opportunities. For further information regarding careers, please contact Mrs Baxter.
