Welcome to the Careers Programme 2023-2024, designed to cater to the needs of our young people, teachers, parents, and employers. Our comprehensive programme encompasses Careers Education, Information, Advice, and Guidance (CEIAG) along with Work-related Learning (WRL), ensuring that all our pupils and sixth form students, including those with SEND or with EAL backgrounds, are equipped to thrive in society as well-qualified and well-informed individuals and members of our community.
At Coloma Convent School for Girls, our overarching objective is to elevate the aspirations and achievements of all our pupils, providing them with the necessary skills, qualifications, knowledge, and presentation abilities to pursue fulfilling careers and lifelong learning opportunities.
Our carefully curated activities and events are delivered with impartiality and tailored to meet the unique needs of each student. Through collaborative efforts with local employers, further education providers, parents, carers, and teachers, we strive to offer a stable programme that effectively addresses the diverse requirements of our student body.
