Careers & Futures

At St John Fisher Catholic Academy, we are passionate about preparing our students not just for exams, but for life beyond the classroom. Our Careers and Futures programme is designed to inspire ambition, broaden horizons, and equip every student with the knowledge, skills, and confidence they need to make informed choices about their future.

From the early years of secondary school right through to our Associated Sixth Form, students benefit from high-quality guidance, engaging careers education, and meaningful encounters with employers, universities, and training providers. Whether they aspire to go to university, start an apprenticeship, or enter the world of work, we help each young person to discover their strengths, explore opportunities, and plan a path that suits their individual interests and talents.

Within the Associated Sixth Form, we offer a bespoke Careers Service open to all students. In Year 12, this is partly delivered through the tutorial programme, alongside a dedicated Careers Day in the Summer Term where students receive tailored support on post-18 options and have the opportunity to meet employers and learn about different career paths. We strongly encourage all Year 12 students to take up a work experience placement, with guidance provided to help them make the most of this valuable opportunity.

Careers appointments are available to all students throughout Year 12 and 13, and weekly careers information is emailed directly to both parents and students - we encourage everyone to check this carefully for the latest opportunities and advice.

Through one-to-one support, careers events, work experience, and inspirational speakers, our students leave St John Fisher with not only a strong academic foundation, but also the direction and self-belief to pursue their goals with confidence.

NOTICE: We are currently updating all our information on apprenticeships, careers guidance and work experience - please keep checking back for the latest opportunities and support.
