At St Thomas More Catholic School we aim to raise the aspirations of our young people. We want to promote better access to all career pathways and enable our students to develop the skills outlook needed to achieve career wellbeing.
Our programme of careers education underpins the Department for Education Guidance (PDF). It will provide students with opportunities to develop and apply the knowledge, understanding and skills necessary to make realistic career decisions.

- Access to occupational information including work experience, apprenticeships and further education training providers
- Access to UCAS (information on universities in the UK).
- A Careers Education Programme built into the school’s curriculum.
