Student Support

All pupils will have to make key decisions during their time at Pakefield, whether it is options and pathways choices in Year 9, work experience in year 10 (summer term) or post 16 choices in year 11. To help pupils understand the qualities, attitudes and skills needed to succeed in working life and independent living we have developed a varied and inspirational careers programme. Pupils have access to information, advice and guidance (IAG) that is both impartial and confidential. If further guidance is required, pupils are referred to a specialist practitioner and access to specialist local help is available for vulnerable pupils and those with additional needs.

To see exactly what support our pupils can expect to receive during their time at Pakefield, please take a look at our Careers Programme. In addition to this, our Careers Adviser offers extra support to those pupils who we feel need further help and guidance to ensure that they leave Pakefield with a place in full-time education or an apprenticeship.

Where do our students go?

We take great pride in supporting our students to progress into the destination that they feel is right for them – please see the graphs below detailing the wide range of pathways that our students take. Our NEET (Not in Education, employment or training) figure is significantly lower than the national average and remains amongst the lowest of the high schools locally.
