Careers Education at Woodham Academy

Our Careers website is here to support both students and parents throughout the journey from Year 7 all the way to post-16 choices. More specifically you will find information on:

  • Years 7 & 8: Exploring the World of Work
    In the early years of secondary school, we help students discover what the world of work is all about. Through activities, lessons, and guest speakers, students start to learn about different jobs, the skills employers value, and how their interests can shape their future.

  • Year 9 Options:
    Clear guidance on choosing GCSE subjects, including how your choices can shape future opportunities.

  • Year 10 Work Experience:
    Everything you need to know about preparing for and making the most of your work experience placement.

  • Year 11 and Beyond:
    Advice on further education, apprenticeships, and career pathways, helping you make informed decisions for life after school.

We know that every student’s path is unique. Our aim is to provide straightforward information, answer common questions, and make the process less daunting. Whether you’re exploring your interests, planning your work experience, or considering your next steps after Year 11, you’ll find resources, tips, and support right here.
