We provide our pupils with multiple learning opportunities to engage with the world of work through encounters with employers, professionals and opportunity providers allowing pupils to discover their strengths and interests whilst developing careers management skills that empower our learners to confidently move towards their long and short term career goals.
Every student at Deyes High School is entitled to a thorough, personalised and aspirational programme of careers events and personalised, independent careers guidance throughout their time at the school. They are given support to whichever route they choose, whether this occurs at the end of KS4 or the end of KS5.

We continually measure and assess the impact of our programme on students in various ways, such as student, parent and tutor surveys, as well as inviting feedback from employers who get involved in activities. We also use destination data obtained by the careers team through individual follow up to monitor trends about where our students move onto.
