SIXTH FORM TO FURTHER EDUCATION AND CAREERS
Our role is to help every student identify a pathway that reflects their strengths, interests and aspirations, while providing the support and guidance needed to achieve their goals.
Mr Richard Parry: Head of Higher Education and Careers
Future planning is supported through our comprehensive Careers Guidance Programme, led by the Head of Higher Education and Careers. Through this, students benefit from personalised one-to-one guidance, receiving expert support with university applications, UCAS submissions, apprenticeship opportunities and applications to highly competitive institutions, including Oxford and Cambridge.
We aim for every student to progress onto a pathway that is right for them as an individual. They are equipped with the knowledge, skills and confidence to make informed decisions about their future, whatever that may be.
Through partnerships with employers, industry professionals and our extensive Clifton Rosarian alumni network, students gain valuable insight into a wide range of careers and professions throughout their time in the Sixth Form. Alumni breakfast forums, higher education fairs and visiting speakers that sit alongside our dedicated Futures and Skills Programme provide opportunities to develop employability skills, build professional networks and explore potential career pathways. This community-centred approach encourages our students to look beyond the classroom, developing a strong sense of self, purpose and responsibility. While academic achievement is important, we also help students to focus on character building, confidence and wellbeing, believing that personal fulfilment and self-belief form the foundation of long-term success.
This empowerment allows students to embrace their futures and make a meaningful contribution to the world around them.
CLIFTON ROSARIAN NETWORK
The word community resonates through the whole of Clifton High School, and that sense of belonging extends far beyond a student's education with us.
Upon leaving the School, all former students automatically become members of our thriving alumni community, the Rosarians where they remain an important part of the Clifton High family. Former students regularly return to share their experiences, inspire current pupils through guest speaker events, support career initiatives and attend alumni gatherings throughout the year. These connections strengthen our community and provide valuable opportunities for networking, mentoring and professional insight.
