Careers

Our Futures programme helps pupils understand how their strengths, interests and values connect to the world of work. We want every pupil to take ownership of their aspirations, plans and decisions from the very start, and to leave Bancroft’s confident about their next steps.

Through a programme of activities both within and beyond the curriculum, pupils develop career awareness, planning, and the employability skills they need to thrive. We believe that effective careers education not only raises aspirations but supports pupils’ wellbeing and sense of purpose.

Throughout their time at Bancroft’s, pupils take part in talks, workshops and mentoring opportunities designed to build self-awareness and practical skills. Individual guidance is available to all year groups, helping pupils explore further education, training and employment routes that suit their ambitions and abilities.

Our impartial guidance is a whole-school effort: tutors, teachers and Senior House Staff all work together to help each pupil understand themselves and make informed choices for the future.

We are fortunate to have a highly engaged parent body and an active Old Bancroftian network, who generously support events such as the Sixth Form Careers Interview Day and mentoring opportunities across industries.
