Careers and Destinations
At Harris Academy St John's Wood, we believe a robust careers curriculum is essential to ensuring that all students have the knowledge and skills required to make informed decisions about their future and always aspire to be better. Each student will receive personalised support based upon their interests and aspirations and will be challenged to reflect and set targets in order to achieve their goals. The careers education and guidance (CEIAG) at HASJW provides a range of opportunities, experiences and encounters, with a range of external providers and career pathways for students.
Please see below our careers input for our KS5 cohort:
Focus: Students understand the skills they have developed and the different career options and pathways with a focus on preparing for next steps into training, work, university and apprenticeships.

Destinations
Each year, we have remarkable destinations that we are really proud of. This year (2023/24) was no different. Below are just some of the outstanding destinations our pupils have after studying with us for two years. We keep strong ties with them, and they build our Alumnis for the next cohort, supporting them to reach the same incredible destinations.
