Careers information for pupils

At Newbury Manor School, we are committed to offering pupils a whole–school approach to careers-related learning ensuring you leave us with the right tools and values to become as independent as fulfilled as possible. We will support you to consider your future options, realise your potential and decide how your skills and experiences fit with local opportunities.

While at Newbury Manor you will follow a curriculum with careers-related learning embedded throughout. Depending on your age you may also have the following opportunities:

  • Work experience/placement gives you opportunities to develop knowledge and understanding of work and to develop employability skills
  • Careers information will provide you with information and resources about courses, occupations and career paths
  • Careers guidance or careers counselling is a deeper intervention where your skills, attributes and interests are explored in relation to your career options. We offer professional, impartial, and confidential advice and guidance to enable you to make informed decisions and to plan the next steps towards your future, including guidance with applying for college, supported internships, employment or apprenticeships.
