Careers Map

Careers Map for Prince William School

“Learning for Life” is at the heart of what we do. Our core values that all students should be ‘Respectful, Ambitious, and Resilient’ support the importance of high-quality Careers Education and Information Guidance. We aim to provide an effective careers programme which offers all students advice, experience and contact with employers which will help to raise their aspirations, support them in making informed decisions about career pathways, and understand what they need to do to be successful.

We believe that there is no limitation as to what our students can achieve and with the right education and career’s information our students will be equipped to make informed decisions about their futures.
