Information for
Students

At The Marches School, our ethos “achievement through caring” embodies the holistic approach we take to supporting students, so that they may achieve in all aspects of their development. We aim to enhance their life chances for the future by providing tailored support throughout their time in school.

We endeavour to ensure that students and parents have access to independent advice and guidance (IAG), whenever required, to assist with making important academic or career decisions.

Mrs Robinson is our dedicated Careers and inspiration officer, based in the digital centre.  A referral for an appointment can be made either through the students form tutor or by emailing Pam.Robinson@mmat.co.uk

What to expect in a guidance interview

A careers guidance interview is an impartial, one-to-one meeting between yourself and a professionally qualified Careers Adviser (Level 6 Diploma in Careers Guidance & Development). A guidance interview can last up to 45 minutes. A careers guidance interview is not like a job interview – there are no right or wrong answers.
