Careers and Progression
During your time with us at Humphry Davy School we want you to achieve the best you can, not only in the qualifications you receive during your time with us but also in the skills for life that you take away with you too.
Whether you are considering what options to choose for your GCSEs, going to College, choosing a 6th form or going to University, or whether you are considering finding an apprenticeship, or you want information on the entry requirements to be a marine biologist or a veterinary surgeon, we can help. We can also support you with writing a CV and gaining interview skills, whatever you want to know careers related we are here to help.
We have a great careers package with a dedicated and experienced careers adviser to help you choose the right options for your future.
