At Key Stage 4, students focus on their Post-

16 options, while learning how to make an
effective transition from Key Stage 3. They
research all options available to them and are
interviewed individually by a specialist careers
advisor from the Careers Service of Northern
Ireland. They attend a Post 16 options talk
accompanied by their parents.

In Sixth Form, students reflect on their

achievements to date, as well as the personal
skills and qualities sought by employers.
Students examine local and global
opportunities, Labour Market Information
and different career pathways. They identify
the decision-making strategies needed to make
clear, realistic and informed choices in relation
to Post-18 pathways.

Students research Post-18 options, prior
to application for UCAS, CAO, Further

Education, apprenticeships or employment.
They undertake interview preparation, work
experience and other work-related activities,
as well as attending university Open Days and
talks by visiting speakers/institutions.

“The careers support and guidance I was given was

excellent. A wide range of opportunities was

made available to me which gave me the

key skills to make informed decisions.”
