Careers and Guidance

The careers programme at Southgate School is underpinned by the school vision of ‘Excellence for All’. We expect that all students have access to a high quality, holistic careers programme that is targeted to their individual needs. Students across Years 7 to 13 will be able to access a programme that enables them to make informed decisions at key transition points during their time at school and throughout their lives.  We want students to be inspired and motivated by what they learn, to develop high aspirations and be aware of all opportunities available to them.  The school reviews information published about Careers and Guidance annually and the next date for review is September 2025

Our Careers Lead is Ms Riggs-Long

Speak to a Careers Advisor

For students at all key transition points, there are some big decisions ahead. Whether you are deciding on your GCSE options, on going to university, starting an apprenticeship, joining our Sixth Form or a college or going into the word of full-time employment, you will have lots of questions. At Southgate School we have a Careers Advisor that works 1:1 with students or in groups from January to July to discuss career options.

You can also seek information from the National Careers Service Contact Centre. Here you will be able to chat online with a careers adviser regarding any questions that you may have. You can also speak to a careers adviser on the phone by calling 0800 100 900.
