Pathways to Futures
While our aim is for the education we offer to be enjoyed and appreciated for its own sake, it’s never too early to start thinking of where school might take you! At Wimbledon High, our Futures programme kicks off in Year 7 and steps up through the years, with Pathways advice steering students towards their GCSE and A level choices and Moving On helping sixth formers to prepare for life after school.
Building skills for the future
What are the skills needed in tomorrow’s workplace?
What higher education options, work experience or apprenticeships will help students with their individual paths?
How do we encourage an enterprising mindset that allows young people to have a go, take risks and pick themselves up from setbacks?
These are key questions for our Futures team. You’ll see from our university destinations that students choose a large variety of courses. We’re proud of the expansiveness in their thinking. From motivational mapping (where students discover what motivates them, and thus what sorts of jobs they might find most fulfilling) to 1:1 discussions with tutors as they get older, via visiting speakers and a wealth of practical tips, students can explore ideas and be true to themselves and their passions.
