Careers and Courses
Ashlyns School aims to provide Careers Education, Information, Advice and Guidance which enables our students to be confident and successful at every stage of their education with us, and in their next steps through education, training or employment. Our programme has been designed and developed in line with the eight Gatsby Benchmarks for ensuring best practice and to meet the requirements of the Department for Education’s statutory guidance 2018.
A range of information about prospective career opportunities can be found in the Careers Hub on the LRC App here.. This resource can be used by students wishing to research potential new career pathways, options at GCSE or post-16, advice on job vacancies in the local area, help with CVs or with university options.
Below you can find links to useful websites, with information on careers, continuing education, employment and more. Please explore these and make a note of any you find especially helpful.
