Careers Education and PSCE in the Third Form

Head of Careers                      Dr Beth Reynaert  BSc Ph.D PGCE

Head of PSCHE                         Mrs Caroline Bond

Introduction

 The Head of Careers co-ordinates the Careers Education and Guidance activities that take place within the school. Other input is provided by tutors, the Head of PSCE, the Head of Senior and Lower Schools and Housemasters/mistress. The Careers Education and PSCE programmes in Pangbourne aim to equip students with the skills they need to make the successful transition through the various stages of College life. In the increasingly competitive world of work, sound careers advice is essential and we aim to enable students to maximise their potential and to have the opportunity to discover the career areas most appropriate to their individual talents and aspirations. Students are encouraged to carry out their own research using the resources available to them but under the guidance of one or more of the adults mentioned. All year groups take a programme of Personal, Social and Citizenship Education (PSCE) modules, delivered in designated PSCE lessons or during tutorial slots. Career related modules are delivered within this programme. 

3^rd form  

In the third form students familiarise themselves with ‘Fast Tomato’, a web-based careers guidance and advice system administered by Morrisby. This provides students with opportunities to identify their individual strengths, abilities and interests and link these with possible career paths and areas of study. Fast Tomato is an ideal tool to stimulate exploration of their career options in a wider sense, within the context of making informed GCSE choices.
