For every pupil, making the right choices is crucial to a fulfilling and rewarding working life. At Stoke Newington School & Sixth Form, our careers service equips pupils with the information, guidance and assistance they need to define their next steps.

The careers department offers a whole host of services designed to help pupils recognise their best attributes, understand the opportunities open to them and make the right choices.

As well as advice on careers and applying to university we offer information about BTEC courses, apprenticeships and fully funded degree opportunities.
