At Abbey College, our aim in Careers is to help our students plan their route through education, in order to make well informed decisions about their futures.  We strive to support our students to see the links between what is learnt in the classroom and the outside world.  We hope this will motivate them in lessons and help them to understand that what they learn at Abbey College will prepare them for an exciting and ever changing world.

CEIAG Event (Careers Fair):

Each year we organise a CEIAG (Careers education, information, advice and guidance) event, where students can find out about a wide variety of careers and ask questions on a one-to-one basis.  The CEIAG event can provide many ideas for possible careers and should ensure that when students are choosing their GCSE options later in the academic year, they will have some idea of the qualifications they require to pursue a chosen career path. Our next Careers Fair will be held in February 2026.

Students- Useful Information & Websites

Students have access to a well-resourced careers library in our Careers Hub, with a wide range of current publications and prospectuses. There is also careers computer software which can be accessed from any of the school’s networked computers. If students have a query or want to talk to someone face to face, then they can call at the Careers Hub and see Ms Pollard or Mrs Wilson. We use the website Unifrog for students to research and build their careers plans.

“One of the signs of passing youth is the birth of a sense of fellowship with other human beings as we take our place among them.”     Virginia Woolf

Woolf House believes in the same ideals. Students should fix on their goals – accept the challenge and keep going until they get there. Working as a team everyone can achieve their goals if we learn from our mistakes and listen to others.

Collaboration is the key in Woolf house!
