Arbor and text alerts

Providers
In order to deliver an engaging and informative careers programme of study it is essential that we engage as many local employers and providers of post 16 destinations as possible. This is an integral part of the implementation of the Gatsby Benchmarks.
If you are a provider who would like to contribute to the delivery of our current careers programme please contact Mr Mills via email: mmills@stbernardsschool.uk.

Teachers
Regardless of our position in school and our subject area we are all teachers of careers information, advice and guidance. We should all be working towards inspiring and raising the aspirations of all of our students by being willing to engage and discuss the range of career opportunities open to our students. This dialogue will enhance and support our current careers programme of study. In order to inform your discussions with students the following sources of information may be useful:
