Careers Education
Welcome to the St John's Catholic Comprehensive Careers Page!
Careers Education Vision Statement
At St John’s, we aim to educate our young people about the world of work, providing them with the very best information and guidance that they need, and inspiring them to make a positive contribution to a better society throughout their adult life. We focus on developing the whole person, nurturing our students to ultimately pursue a career in order to serve and lead others in their world of work, fulfilling their God-given potential, and being ‘Inspired by Christ’ in all that they do.
Below you can find our Careers and Provider Access Policies, while you can find our Careers Programme here.
Useful resources can be found on Unifrog.
Parents, students and employers can access details of our Careers programme through this page, or by contacting our Careers Leader, Mr Matthew Barron.

Measuring and assessing Impact
Our careers provision at St John's begins in Year 7. This means that our students have the potential to draw upon 5 years of CEIAG, or 7 years if they stay with us for Year 13. We use Compass+, a tool from The Careers & Enterprise Company, to benchmark, manage, track and report on our careers programme. This then allows us to assess the impact of our provision and make enhancements where required. All our students keep their careers records in their UniFrog account, which they access throughout the school year in their PSHE lessons.
