Careers at Frogmore

At Frogmore Community College, we believe that every child can excel. The aim of our curriculum is to inspire and empower every child, through rich and memorable experiences, to flourish in their learning and live a fulfilled life, confidently equipped with breadth and depth of knowledge to play an active and informed role in society. Providing a robust Careers Information, Advice and Guidance (CIAG) programme for our students is an important part of this commitment.  

The Careers Curriculum

We are committed to exploring how the subjects that we offer can prepare students for life after Frogmore and we make explicit links to careers in our lessons. In addition to this, age appropriate careers- related PSHCE lessons are delivered to all students.

Towards the end of Key Stage 3, students are invited, along with their parents, to a Key Stage 4 options evening where they look into the different subjects that they can take, whether they be GCSEs or vocational qualifications. Following this, students have one- to-one bespoke careers guidance meetings about their option choices.

In key stage 4, students undertake a variety of activities to prepare them for life beyond Frogmore. Each student has a post-16 options advice and guidance interview with our careers advisor, Lorna Durbridge from Sixth Form College Farnborough. All students are offered an appointment but they can also request an appointment by speaking to Mr Davies, Mrs Delehanty, their Director of Year or their tutor.

In addition, we offer the following opportunities:

• college, apprenticeship and employer talks
• careers carousel with colleges, potential apprenticeship providers and potential employers
• careers focused assemblies
• promotion of Youth Impact Foundation

Careers Advice

Our careers advisor is in school every Thursday and based in Mr Davies’ office. 

During student career appointment, the careers advisor will help students to think about their future, what interests them, what college courses they would like to do after they leave Frogmore, as well as possible university options or future careers. 

Interview sessions are 50 minutes long, after which, students are able to email the careers advisor directly with any questions they might have or for follow up information. Students will also receive an action plan from the session, as well as web links and additional information to help guide them via their school email
