Good Career guidance is the key to social mobility.  It is about showing young people the options available and open to them and helping them to make the right choices to set them on the path to rewarding future careers.  Our curriculum and careers education at Haileybury Turnford aim to prepare students for their future destinations and life beyond school.  We endeavour to ensure all students, parents and carers are aware of the options and choices available as they progress through school and beyond school.  At Haileybury Turnford we allow students to research all options so they can make well informed choices about their future.

Haileybury Turnford’s Career Programme works towards the Gatsby Benchmarks framework for good career guidance. The eight Gatsby Benchmarks are developed to support schools in providing students with the best possible careers education, information and advice.
