Supporting Careers Across the Curriculum
Every member of staff at Prenton High School has a role in helping students recognise their strengths, explore opportunities and understand how their learning connects to future pathways.
Our careers programme develops progressively from Year 7 to Year 11. Subject teachers, form tutors and support staff can help students make these connections through everyday conversations, curriculum activities and wider school experiences.
How staff can support careers learning
- Explain how subject knowledge and skills are used in different jobs and industries.
- Introduce a diverse range of careers and challenge stereotypes about who can pursue them.
- Help students recognise the transferable skills they develop, including communication, teamwork, organisation and problem-solving.
- Encourage students to explore academic, technical and vocational pathways.
- Promote relevant careers events, employer encounters and opportunities.
- Support students in reflecting on their experiences and identifying questions or next steps.
