Careers, Education & Guidance
At St Mary’s we encourage every student to be aspirational and offer them a comprehensive programme of careers education, information, advice and guidance (CEIAG) from Year 7 onwards.
St Mary’s has a dedicated Careers Lead and Careers Adviser, Mrs Kerry Gaulton, who oversees all aspects of careers education, advice and guidance at St Mary’s. Mrs Gaulton can be contacted using admin@st-maryshigh.herts.sch.uk or via the school by calling 01992 629124.
We have dedicated careers information, advice & guidance which is delivered in three categories;
Universal; all pupils develop their careers knowledge and skills through assemblies, dedicated Careers PSHCE lessons and tutorial time. External independent speakers will be invited in to speak to students throughout the year as well as a range of careers events.
Concentrated; pupils identified by Year Leads with a need for advice will have an interview with the Careers Adviser. All students in Years 11 will be routinely offered a careers IAG meeting. Year 12 & 13 students intending to look for apprenticeships or employment are also identified and offered interviews as a priority.
Self-Referral; pupils and or their parent/carer may arrange an appointment to see the Careers Adviser.
Access Arrangements
St Mary’s will facilitate access of providers to the School for the purpose of giving them information about the provider’s education or training offer. This complies with the School’s legal obligations under Section 42B of the Education Act 1997. For details click on this link:
