Overview

The careers programme at Sir Roger Manwood’s School is part of our wider Information, Advice and Guidance (IAG) programme.

We wish to ensure our students become well rounded, resilient individuals that are prepared for life beyond school, and to that end, our programme aims to provide students from Year 7 to Year 13 with a wide range of opportunities that enables them to make an informed choice regarding their further education and career.  Our young people will first engage with the materials and advice available to them, then explore the wide range of possibilities in front of them, and then excel in the applications for the courses and/or jobs that they decide upon.

The following are responsible for the Careers Education curriculum at Sir Roger Manwood’s School:

• T Afroza-Islam – Link Governor for Careers
• Ms C Kernick – Assistant Headteacher and SLT in charge of Careers  
• Miss K Borg – Careers Lead – Careers@srms.kent.sch.uk / 01304 610200
