Careers at HGS

Meet Our Careers Advisors

 Mrs Ellis                                     Mrs Haigh

Mrs Ellis and Mrs Haigh are highly experienced and professionally qualified careers advisers and are available to support all students at HGS. Based in the Careers Hub B013, they offer personalised advice and guidance to students across all year groups. All Year 11 and Year 12 students receive a dedicated careers guidance interview, while students in any year group can access support through the careers drop-in sessions. These take place on Monday to Thursday at lunchtime (12.45pm–1.15pm), or students can book an appointment.

Mrs Ellis and Mrs Haigh are also happy to support parents and can be contacted via [email protected].

Careers Programme

From Year 7 through to Year 13, students take part in a carefully planned and progressive careers programme. This includes personal development and tutorial lessons, careers events, employer talks, workshops and presentations tailored to each stage of a student’s journey. We work with a wide range of employers, training providers, and Higher Education institutions to inspire students, broaden horizons, and help them understand the many pathways available to them.

Whether students are beginning to explore careers in main school, or making important decisions about university, apprenticeships, or employment in the Sixth Form, our aim is simple: to ensure every student leaves HGS with a clear, realistic, and ambitious plan that is right for them and enables them to reach their full potential.
