Careers
We are proud of the careers guidance we provide and that all our learners have gone on to either further education, employment or training over the last few years.
Our latest assessment means Batley Grammar School has retained the Quality in Careers Standard. The award confirms our dedication to outstanding careers provision.
We heavily invest in the future careers of our young people and offer support and guidance throughout their time here. Learners have access to a well-resourced school careers library, which is available before school, during break and lunchtime as well as ICT facilities with a variety of careers packages. Our Year 10 careers librarians can direct their fellow learners to relevant information.
Key employment sectors in the region are; Construction, Creative, Digital, Health and Manufacturing & Engineering. More information on sectors and skills can be found on FutureGoals.
The careers team is here to support our learners and parents/carers, in making the right career choices. This support is also available to our young people on learning pathways evenings and on GCSE results days.
C+K Careers
Sureiya Koffi is our C+K Careers Advisor and is available in school every Thursday to offer advice and guidance to all learners to enable them to make effective decisions about their future. She also attends most parent/carer evenings from Year 8, and no appointment is needed for those sessions.
Individual careers appointments can be arranged for learners to discuss things such as; GCSE subject options as well as post-16 and post-18 options.
Appointments are arranged via email and parents/carers are also welcome to attend attend appointments.
Work experience
Year 10 learners are offered bespoke work experience in the summer term. They will be provided with an opportunity to prepare for their choice of work experience, from approximately 14 short-term placements. They will also complete an evaluation of their experience and consider how this shapes their career journey.
Enterprise Advisor Partnership
We are pleased to work with the Leeds City Region Enterprise Partnership (the LEP). Through this connection, which partners careers teams in schools with local senior business leaders, we have been partnered with Turner & Townsend - a global professional services company with over 10,000 people in 48 countries.
