In 2000 the school became the first in the GDST to receive the Investor in Careers award. The award is reassessed every year: the standard was successfully attained again in June 2003.

Our Careers Education and Guidance Programme supports the development of the knowledge and skills that the girls need to make effective preparations for each stage of their education and ultimately for the world of work.

We aim to provide:

• The opportunity to identify and develop areas of strength and weakness through self assessment and aptitude testing in year 11 through the ISCO programme leading to an individual careers report and discussion with a Careers advisor to enable appropriate and effective action planning
• Access to information from providers outside school such as Prospect/Connexions, the Independent Schools Careers Organisation and the GDST's Minerva network.
• Comprehensive, up-to-date and unbiased information about careers and higher education.
• The opportunity to develop the knowledge and skills needed to make appropriate choices and successful transitions throughout their time at school and into higher education, work or training.
• Familiarity with the world of work through the work opportunity programme in year 10.
• Enhancement of the partnership between the school, parents, careers services, employers and local community.
