Careers advice and guidance is extremely important at Plymstock School. However, it is easy to get confused with so many options and different careers to think about. To help you navigate different options, please see below for some useful resources. You will find links about work experience, Post 16 and 18 options, as well as useful resources such as CV and interview help.
• If you require careers advice, careers meetings are available to students from Year 9 to 11.
• You can contact Alicia Walshe-Winwood, our Careers Advisor, to book a careers meeting by going to the Careers Centre directly or by emailing her at AWalsheWinwood@plymstockschool.org.uk. You can also ask your Head of Year, tutor or any teacher to book a meeting for you.
