Where can I find out information about my options and future career pathways?

Please visit the Unifrog website which has lots of information about your future choices. Unifrog enables you to look at careers based on your subjects, interests, strengths, personality and more. It's a great place to get started when thinking about what you plan to do after school, or even choosing your GCSE options. Use it to shortlist apprenticeship vacancies, universities, jobs and more.

No matter what year group you are in, you should have logged into Unifrog already during a tutor time session. If not, you will have an email sent from Unifrog to your school email address to log in for the first time. If you have any issues logging into Unifrog, please speak to Ms Jefferies.

You can also use the Careers Resources web page to find out more information to help you make next steps as well as current opportunities.

What careers provision is available at Corsham School?

Careers Education and Guidance at Corsham School is aimed at providing pupils with information and advice as they make important decisions about their future. We encourage our students to start thinking about their future careers and employment from an early stage. There is a whole programme of activities organised to open the students’ minds to ideas about their future, while also raising aspirations.

This is provided by:

1. A comprehensive Careers Education Programme run by the People and Community department.

2. Provision of Careers Events to give students experience of the world of work.

Activities include external speakers in assemblies, visits to externally organised careers/employability or university fairs, discussion groups, and visits to different workplaces and companies.

We host a Careers Fair every year in school where pupils have the opportunity to meet employers and individual professionals from a whole range of employment sectors and training providers. Pupils can find out about apprenticeships, further and higher education, and employment options.

We highly value contributions made by external employers to inform our students about career pathways available to them. We find students engage very well with these events. For instance, CV writing and interview skills with employers are built in to our Year 10 curriculum.

We also support a variety of STEM events to give all students access to employers involved in Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths.

In Corsham Sixth Form, students follow a comprehensive careers programme during core sessions which includes visiting speakers from universities, higher apprenticeship programmes, gap years, volunteering and much more.
