Mrs Caroline Foster, Careers Officer

We all dream of getting our perfect job and at King's we believe that early preparation can help us to achieve that goal. Developing vital employability skills, inspiring students about the opportunities available and planning ahead ensure that our students are prepared to embrace their chosen pathway after finishing school.

Mrs Foster can be contacted at caroline.foster@kingsmac.co.uk, 01625 412379

All students can receive individual careers advice from Mrs Foster along with support and guidance to help them with their GCSE and A-Level subject choices, work experience, choice of course, university, apprenticeship or gap year. 

Unifrog, our online careers platform, is used throughout the senior school to support the students in their journey and we would encourage parents to take a look too! Mrs Foster also oversees Speakers' Club, a programme of talks by speakers from industry and universities to inspire and inform students about different pathways open to them. Students also enjoy a number of external visits including visits to local employers, universities and careers fairs. 

Form time and Compass time is dedicated to developing students' employability skills and preparing them for their next stage in life: for higher study or employment and to develop students into independent, confident and personable young adults.

Individual assistance with UCAS applications, international university applications and travel and community projects is also provided. Students who are applying for apprenticeships benefit from a tailored programme to support them through the application process.
