Welcome to the New Fosseway School Careers Programme

New Fosseway School is enormously proud of its Careers Programme 'My Future', which is designed to help our young people make informed choices about their future and offer support and guidance along the way.

Students have the opportunity to go out into the community on work experience placements raising their career aspirations and simultaneously improving their skills set, confidence, self-esteem and independence.

We believe that every student should have the opportunity to gain employment if they have the desire and drive to do so regardless of their individual needs.  Please go to the bottom of this page to see case studies from some of our inspirational students.

This programme is generously supported by local and national organisations and businesses who believe in giving our young people access to real life work experience opportunities.  Through vocational profiling and liaison with professionals, we aim to facilitate suitable work placements to develop students' work skills.  We are very appreciative of the support from many organisations in the area. 

Compass+ is an evaluation tool from The Careers & Enterprise Company which we use to monitor and review our Careers Programme.  We are please to be achieving all 8 of the Gatsby Benchmarks.
