Careers and Guidance
The careers programme at Southgate School is underpinned by the school vision of ‘Excellence for All’. We expect that all students have access to a high quality, holistic careers programme that is targeted to their individual needs. Students across Years 7 to 13 will be able to access a programme that enables them to make informed decisions at key transition points during their time at school and throughout their lives. We want students to be inspired and motivated by what they learn, to develop high aspirations and be aware of all opportunities available to them.
Our Careers Lead is Ms Riggs-Long

For students at all key transition points, there are some big decisions ahead. Whether you are deciding on your GCSE options, on going to university, starting an apprenticeship, joining our Sixth Form or a college or going into the word of full-time employment, you will have lots of questions.
