DESTINATIONS

Last year our students went on to study a variety of subjects including Accounting and Finance, Acting, Art Foundation, Biology, Business Management, Chemistry, Civil Engineering, Criminology, Dance, Economics, Film, History, Law, Maths, Medicine, Midwifery and Nursing, Music, Natural Sciences, Neuroscience, Physics, Politics, Psychology, Sociology, Sports.

The Post 18 applications process is extensive and challenging, but we always make sure our students don’t go through it alone. Our Oxbridge programme supports and guides any students who aspire to study at these prestigious universities; we have visiting speakers, Open Day visits, tailored lunchtime sessions and specialist subject practice interviews.

We are very proud of the future destinations of our students. Most of them achieve competitive university places, including degree courses at Oxford and Cambridge Universities. We are equally proud of the talented group of students who realise their aims and start Higher Apprenticeships or attend prestigious Performing Arts Schools.

We provide wide ranging, independent careers advice from Year 12 onwards, including tutorial lessons, specialist placements and focused support based on students’ intended career pathways. We value and support work experience, particularly in practical areas. All students are encouraged to use allocated times (usually Wednesday afternoons) to secure regular work experience placements.

High Storrs Alumni and local businesses are keen to support the careers development of our students. We regularly hold careers insight talks, open to all Sixth Formers, to provide increasing information about jobs and apprenticeships from established professionals.
