Aspirations

How do we support your aspirations?

At Halewood Academy, we aim to ensure we meet the needs of our student’s aspirations by enabling experiences and encouragement to follow the correct pathway. We understand students’ aspirations may change from time to time so we try to offer our students as many experiences and enrichment opportunities as possible, some ways in which we do this are:

• Guest speakers

• Trips and visits to colleges, universities and businesses

• Extra-Curricular activities

• Careers events

• A careers coordinator – Miss A Gallen

• Personal Development lessons

• Coaching and mentoring programmes

• Meeting Alumni

• Mock interviews
