Careers
At Wellingborough School, we consider career guidance to be a vital part of a pupil’s education. The Careers Department organises and promotes an integrated programme that provides up-to-date information, advice and support to help pupils to make wise and informed choices for their future careers. Lower Sixth students undertake a week’s work experience, supported by the School, at the end of the academic year, providing an insightful and hands on introduction to the working world.
Here at Wellingborough School, we aim for students to understand and add to their transferable skills, to take ownership of their futures and to make the most of the many resources to help them find out more.
