Our Offer

Choosing which direction to take after leaving school is a big decision. 

That’s why Apex Specialist Education is committed to having the highest aspirations for our students when they take their next steps out of our school. All students are entitled to robust yearly careers guidance with an external and impartial careers advisor; we commission Positive Steps to facilitate this service. This is complimented with a commitment to equip students with a broad range of transferable skills that will prepare them for the changing world of work. We ensure our careers programme is inclusive of our young people’s needs, whilst supporting them to be as independent as possible. Students access a wealth of supplementary personal development experiences alongside trips to employers and encounters with further education which supports ready for work skills and transitions. We continue to emphasise learning experiences outside the classroom and in our local community.  

To supplement our careers provision, we promote independent living skills throughout our curriculum, extracurricular activities and personalised objectives for each student through review meetings and transition planning. As a school we will utilise age-appropriate preparation for adulthood outcomes which incorporate employment, community inclusion, independent living and health which aim to be achievable but still aspirational for our students.
