Careers Information, Advice, Support &

Guidance (CIASG) at St Mary’s College

complements our ethos of assisting students to

prepare for the opportunities and challenges of

the world. Guidance in the main is delivered

through experienced form tutors and learning

mentors, backed up by specialist staff who

are available for more personal and ‘one to

one’ consultations. CIASG events (e.g. Parents

Information Evenings on Work Experience

and Progressions) are planned throughout

the year with outside speakers and specialists

making regular contributions to the Guidance

programme.

There are comprehensive Careers Information,

Advice, Support and Guidance resources in

the Learning Resource Centre incorporating a

wide range of books and leaflets. There is also

up-to-date Careers Information, Advice, Support

and Guidance software and web links on the

school intranet.

Individual Specialist Guidance

Interview

We have a specialist Guidance adviser, who

can help young people to make informed

decisions at crucial times in their lives. Students

can make appointments through their Year team.

Students can also ‘drop in’ for a quick chat in

privacy, at break, lunchtime or after school.

Careers

“Students are supported to

make exceptional progress.”

OFSTED 2010

The aim of the school is to foster the moral, spiritual, cultural, mental and physical development

of all pupils, believing that each individual pupil has a right to the maximum access to a full

and exciting curriculum. In its widest context the curriculum is everything related to school.

This includes the normal school timetable, the school ethos, all extra-curricular activities and

what happens at break and lunchtime. By constantly seeking ways to raise achievement, we

aim to provide an environment which allows the needs of every individual to be addressed and

to ensure everyone is able to flourish.

Years 7 and 8 have the same school curricular provision, in line with the demands of the National

Curriculum:

Art, D & T, Drama, English, Geography, History,

ICT, Mathematics, Music, Modern Languages,

PE, Religious Education, Science

In addition, there is a Personal and Social Education programme that is delivered through half-day

tutorial sessions and forms an integral part of most other lessons.

Students have the opportunity to study ICT as a discrete subject at KS4 & KS5.

Years 7 & 8

Years 9, 10 and 11 have a core of English Language and Literature, Mathematics, Physical

Education, Religious Studies and Science.

Most students will continue to study a Modern Foreign language

All students will select 4 other options from a wide-ranging and comprehensive subject list.

Citizenship is delivered through half-day tutorial sessions and is an integral part of most schemes

of work.

It is expected that all students undertake a period of Work Experience in Year 10. Some students

do extended work placements.

Years 9, 10 & 11

SM6 delivers outstanding post-16 provision at St Mary’s College. We offer a wide range of Key

Stage 5 courses, including Level 1, Level 2, Level 3, AS and A Level qualifications. SM6 enjoys

a high number of returning students and external recruits who want to access our top quality 6th

Form offer and state of the art facilities. SM6 has developed two distinct academies within the 6th

Form: the Academy of Sport enables students to benefit from high quality coaching programmes

in a variety of sports alongside their academic studies, whilst the pioneering Medical, Health &

Social Care Academy (MHSC) works collaboratively with local industry leaders in the fields of social care and health to provide real world

experiences alongside academic qualifications in the field. It is the only established academy of its kind in the UK presently.

Results in all areas demonstrate that SM6 is extremely successful. We welcome applications from students of all religious denominations from

Hull, the East Riding and beyond.
