Year 9 students are able to request a careers appointment with our  Careers  Advisor - Mr Farmer before making their final options selections to help inform and guide choices. In this meeting Mr Farmer will discuss any initial career plans with students, as well as post-16 routes and any potential links with GCSE subject choices. Should any Year 9 student wish to book a careers appointment with Mr. Farmer, they can do so by asking their form teacher or Head of Year. 

 Mr Farmer is also available to speak with parents and carers should you require any advice regarding the options choices and future routes of study; he can be contacted in school by phone or via email: simon.farmer@consilium-at.com 

We also encourage students to explore careers further using our online careers platform “Xello” which allows students to explore which careers or job sectors may link well to their own personality, skills and learning needs. All students have access to Xello, Mr. Farmer can provide login details if needed. 

 Ellesmere Park High School also works with ‘Pathways’ a careers platform that can help students find careers that may interest them in the future, including how these careers are achieved. 
Pathways resources are available via the school website on each curriculum page. 

Students will also able to book career guidance interviews during Year 10 and Year 11 to support their career planning.
