Careers and Destinations

At Harris Academy St Johns 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, will be challenged to reflect and set targets in order to achieve their goals. The careers education and guidance (CEIAG) at HASJW provides are 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:
