National Careers Week (2nd–7th March 2026) helps students learn about different careers through workshops and employer activities. The school follows a Careers Roadmap from Year 7 to Year 11, guiding students as they explore options and make decisions about their future.

At XP we develop key transferable skills such as listening, teamwork, problem‑solving, and creativity.

Please support your student in Years 9–11 complete an aspirations survey, and Year 11 students also must complete a Next Steps survey to support post‑16 planning.

Work Experience for C29 (Year 10) will run from 11th–15th May 2026, offering benefits like real‑world experience, confidence building, and CV development. It requires full attendance and support from parents/carers.

Year 10 will also be attending taster days at local colleges to help them begin to make choices about where they will study after XP.
