Pupils can select their own personal tutor to help support them throughout their journey. All pupils take part in a dedicated Careers Week aimed at informing them of the options available. They will also receive guidance on how to write an effective CV, embark on a number of formal interviews and listen to representatives from universities, gap year providers, school leaver programmes and apprenticeships. Throughout the year, all sixth formers take part in a weekly lecture programme, which gives them the opportunity to hear from a diverse range of speakers.

“In a year that saw a positive effort to return to pre-pandemic grading, I am delighted to see our percentage of A*-B and A*-C equivalent grades have increased once again. The results reflect a determined, hardworking and resourceful cohort of Giggleswick pupils, who have strived to reach their full potential. I am pleased to see pupils heading off to destinations such as Durham, Exeter, Salford, The Royal Northern College of Music, as well as degree apprenticeships with Jaguar Land Rover, the Ministry of Justice and BAE Systems. The diversity of courses from Law, through Architecture to Biochemistry and Sport are fantastic. As a school that focusses on tailored pathways and excellent academic outcomes for each and every pupil, I am confident that we have supported our leavers in preparing them for the next stage of their journey.”
