Careers
Preparation for employment is an integral part of everything we do at Glebe Farm School. We aim to prepare our students to go on to further or higher education or skilled employment to enable them to make a significant contribution to society.
While qualifications remain very important, with few exceptions, they are no longer the only consideration. We recognise that employability or work-readiness is becoming more and more important when potential employers’ look for people to fill vacancies.
Our Careers Lead is Miss Stewart (EStewart@glebefarmschool.co.uk) who is supported by Mrs Prince (Hprince@glebefarmschool.co.uk)
Are you an employer looking to work with a school? Then we are looking for you!
We are keen to work with employers who can pass on the benefit of their skills, experience and expertise. Many of our careers events require volunteers who are willing to get involved in a variety of activities such as:
- speak to students in small groups
- present in assemblies
- answer questions posed by students (speed networking in small groups)
- interviewers (virtual or face to face)
- work with students on a one to one basis to help edit their draft CVs
- link with curriculum areas to show how their learning in specific subjects can lead into various careers
The Careers and Enterprise Company is running a national campaign to encourage employers to Give an Hour.... Make a difference. Click here to find out more details.
- The CEC have published 'The Employer Standards' to help you think about and plan up-front what you want to achieve from working with schools, special schools and colleges, review the quality of your outreach and how it aligns with your business objectives.
If you would like to find out more, or would like to volunteer for an event please contact Miss Stewart (EStewart@glebefarmschool.co.uk) or Mrs Prince (Hprince@glebefarmschool.co.uk)
