Careers Programme

Trinity Aspire

The purpose of our careers programme is to make sure that students leave us prepared for the next step on their journey, whether that is to higher education or employment. We aim to raise aspirations and promote social mobility, ensuring that all students have access to the best opportunities.  

We aim to provide excellent quality, neutral information and guidance to all of our students to allow us to provide them with the best possible foundations to start their future. We aim to offer specialised advice concerning a number of pathways available to students after sixth form including university, apprenticeships, and employment. 

The programme provides students with the knowledge and skills they need to be life ready learners and achieve in the wider world. In 2021 we were awarded the Quality in Careers Standard receiving full accreditation as we met all eight of the Gatsby Benchmarks (see below).  

1. A stable career programme
2. Learning from career and labour market information 
3. Addressing the needs of all pupils 
4. Linking curriculum learning to careers 
5. Encounters with employers and employees 
6. Experience of workplaces 
7. Encounters with further and higher education 
8. Personal guidance  

 

We continue to measure the impact of our careers programme on students using Compass, which assesses our offering against the above benchmarks.
