Employers

Our School Vision/Intent At Herne Bay High School, we take Careers Education Information and Guidance very seriously. We understand that a strong and stable careers program is the starting block for each student to be able to aspire to have achievable goals. We would like students to feel enabled to make ambitious, informed and realistic choices relating to career aspirations which impact their current and future educational and career related choices. We want to inspire and motive students to achieve their potential and ensure they are informed and prepared for further and higher education and /or the world of work when they leave HBHS. Deciding on a career path is not an easy task and therefore access to information, advice and guidance is essential for every student to make an informed choice about their future and strive towards their aspirations. Our programme is designed to develop personal characteristics which will support students to achieve and thrive in school and beyond.

Comprehensive Career Guidance

Our independent careers adviser is available to support students across all year groups. We offer tailored guidance to meet the unique needs of each student:

• Years 7 and 8: Group career guidance as well as one to one session introduce students to various career paths and help them start thinking about their futures.
• Years 9, 10, and 11: One-to-one career guidance to provide personalised advice and support as students make important decisions about their education and career paths.
• Years 12 and 13: Individual sessions available upon request to assist with university applications, apprenticeships, and other post-16 options.

We ensure that all students receive unbiased advice and are seen by relevant deadlines to support their onward destinations. For students with an EHCP/SEND, additional support is provided through our dedicated SEND provision.

"Yesterday, I was honoured to be invited into a secondary school in East Kent to deliver a CV workshop as part of their 6th Form Annual Pathway Conference.  The student engagement was excellent with them taking plenty away from the session! I really enjoyed it too and was fun to be back in the classroom!  The Head of 6^th Form has already invited me back next year!" - Tom McQuade, Academics Ltd
