Mary Webb School is committed to giving every pupil the best possible start in life. As part of a whole school commitment to raising aspirations and supporting all pupils to make positive career choices and transitions, Mary Webb school has a high-quality programme of careers events and activities.

Pupils get the chance to take part in a wide range of careers and enterprise activities during their school journey such as:

Our school welcomes the opportunity to work with local employers through work experience, the school careers fair, and other school events. If you are an employer, and would like to support the school in any way please email Miss. S Pugh

The law now requires that young people continue in education, employment (if it includes formal and approved training) or training until the age of 18.

Participation of young people in education, employment or training – Statutory Guidance 2013. (This law came into effect to enable all young people to have the opportunity to reach better outcomes, gain more skills, and therefore have greater earning potential.)

Parents are key to young peoples’ decision-making. We encourage parents and carers to use the information provided on these web pages with their children. We maintain regular communication with parents about careers events and opportunities via ParentMail, through discussions at parent evenings and at the annual careers fair. Parents are welcome to contact our independent careers adviser directly, and can request an individual appointment if needed.

There are many ways you can find out more information about different careers.  In school look out for:

• Resources in the school library
• The interactive screen in the school library
• Posters in your classrooms
• Posters in the careers meeting room.
