Careers and University

Whatever your dream, WHS staff will work to help you achieve it. Long before you enter the 6th Form, you will have received advice about future options in university subject choices and careers. Some of you will know exactly where you are heading - for others the path ahead will be far from certain, or you may find that your interests change as you have more time to explore them in depth, or that you develop new interests altogether. Don't worry - advice and support will be on hand every step of the way.

6th Form tutors will help you get your best out of your studies at WHS. Our academic results year on year speak for themselves, as do the destinations of our leavers, and the success of our alumnae in a large variety of professions.
