At Rednock School, we understand that it is very important that you can access the latest and most relevant information that will help you to plan your future careers. This help starts with deciding which courses are best for you, you need to choose your GCSEs and A levels and prepare those soft skills required for the application process to go on to college or university, as well as applying for your first part-time job or apprenticeships. The world of work and the opportunities available are constantly changing; It is a tough market out there and we want to make sure that you have the edge over your competitors. We have created a designated ‘Destinations’ mini website that offers you, your family and teachers a wide range of tools and links with which to develop and review career plans over the next 5-7 years.
Please click here to access the Destinations mini website.

We acknowledge that there are a range of education opportunities available in the local area designed to meet the needs of all young people. At the end of Year 9, 11, 12 and 13 you have the opportunity to look at other education pathways such as other Local Sixth Form Colleges, Secondary Schools, University Technical Colleges, FE, HE and Apprenticeships. These local UTC and Colleges can contact you either individually or via school, or you can contact them to apply for places on courses yourself. These opportunities will also be discussed with you during some of your careers lessons under Life Skills as well as during your impartial careers interviews, where appropriate. These pathways are described in a little more detail, with some links, under the mini destinations website. Information about local colleges is also made available through the careers section of the LRC
This year, we shall be reinvigorating our Rednock Alumni to help develop community links between pupils and former pupils who can offer meaningful work experiences, mentoring and industry specific advice and guidance for our Year 12 students and then further on down the school.
In order to achieve this, we have developed a programme of Life Skills Lessons, off timetable days, exhibitions and events for you to attend over the five academic years as well as a range of online resources for you to access whenever you want. Please take time and read through the table below.
