Careers Education at Greenford High School

Greenford High School is committed to providing students with high quality, independent advice and guidance with regards to careers, further and higher education and future life choices. Getting the right advice and guidance is an important part of school life- whether it is selecting your GCSE options or finding the right pathway at the end of Year 11. We have a comprehensive programme in place to ensure every student can explore their options and find the route to their future educational or career opportunities.  Our Student VLE contains detailed information to support students in making choices about their future. 

Our school's Careers Leader is Will Halsey. His email address is whalsey@greenford.ealing.sch.uk. Please use the main school contact details to contact by phone.

Ealing Connexions

Greenford High School works closely with Ealing Connexions and provides students with access to an impartial Level 6 Careers Coordinator, Clare Rodway. Clare meets Year 10 and 11 students to explore options for Post-16 with everything from A Levels to local colleges and apprenticeships included. Students are fully supported in applying for the next stage in their education or training and where relevant helped with arranging visits and interviews. Students are free to book follow-up appointments if their plans change and the goal is for every student to have a place in education or training for the following year by the mid-point of Year 11.
