Careers
The Hemel Hempstead School seeks to maximise the life chances of all of our students and so it is crucial to prepare young people for life beyond school. The school aims to meet the needs of all students so the programme will be differentiated to ensure progression through activities that are appropriate to students’ stages of career learning, planning and development. They need to be empowered to plan and manage their own futures and availability of information is a key determinant of career choice. The programme will raise aspirations, challenge stereotyping and promote equality and diversity. It supports social mobility by improving opportunities for all young people, especially those from disadvantaged backgrounds and those with special educational needs and disabilities.
The school endeavours to follow the DfE statutory careers guidance (2018) which includes the Gatsby Benchmarks.

Careers information advice and help
Students can get careers advice and help:
- Careers work in the school is overseen by Assistant Headteacher, Mr J Heward.
- The careers coordinator is Miss S Bond, who can be contacted on 01442 390 100, or via admin@hhs.herts.sch.uk or Twitter @HemelCareers
- We work in close partnership with YC Hertfordshire, which is represented by Mrs E Readman and Ms H Stephens.
- The careers office is in the library.
Please note, these are the career events and activities we aim to run in school. With the current Covid-19 situation, the school’s careers provision is not able to include as many employer encounters as in previous years so some of the events published may not take place.
All Year 11 students are offered a 1:1 career interview and students from other years are welcome to speak to Miss Bond if they would also like to make an appointment to speak to someone about careers, option choices or future plans.
Measuring impact
We are very proud of our destinations data. Last year 99.4% of our leavers went on to education, training or employment, against a national average of 94%.
We review our careers programme against the Gatsby Benchmarks – we are proud to say that we do exceptionally well in every category. Our Gatsby Profile can be seen by following this link.
We also review our careers programme and its impact, every March, once the official destinations data is published and YC Hertfordshire have compiled their activity survey. Our destinations data can be viewed here.
At The Hemel Hempstead School we believe it is important to assess the impact of our careers programme on our students. We do this in a number of ways.
We identify and analyse the destinations of our Year 11 and 13 students taking into account their prior attainment. For Year 11 students, we record pathways including Level 2 courses, Level 2 apprenticeships, Level 3 courses, Level 3 apprenticeships.
Analysis of sector based outcomes to ensure our advice is relevant to the jobs available and to ensure that we promote equality of opportunity.
The proportion of students going onto Level 3 courses or apprenticeships is tracked over time.
For Year 13 students we identify and analyse whether students go onto higher education and the range of courses being studied and the universities/colleges being attended or who go onto an apprenticeship and whether it is at Intermediate, Advanced or Higher level.
We track students for three years from the end of Year 11, identifying and reviewing where students leave or change courses/apprenticeships.
We are very keen to get the views of students on the Careers, Education, Information, Advice and Guidance (CEIAG) they received during years at The Hemel Hempstead School.Example school. We ask all Year 12 students to complete an on-line survey to find out their views on individual elements of the CEIAG programme and their overall assessment of the programme. We value the views of parents on how well we have helped them to support their child or children make rational informed career decisions.
Business volunteers are asked for their feedback on each individual careers events that they take part in, such as the employability day, role model events or mock interviews. In addition, the school’s Enterprise Coordinator evaluates the careers programme from a business viewpoint.
The school has a LinkedIn page giving former students of The Hemel Hempstead School the opportunity to network, engage in professional discussions, share business ideas, advice, expertise and knowledge. In particular to create a network of employers and contacts who would be willing to reconnect with the school to share their experiences of their career and working life and inspire and encourage tomorrow’s work force, through means of talks, mentoring, sponsorship, business breakfasts, work experience or work shadowing and so on.
All students in Year 11 are offered a formal careers interview with either one of our Personal Advisors from YC Herts or Miss Bond, all of whom have a Level 6 guidance qualification.. Attendance is tracked and bespoke careers action plans are completed and logged. Year 11 students also have a one to one interview with a senior member of staff to identify and encourage planning of post-16 destinations.
Apprenticeships are now seen as a real alternative to the university route and higher/degree apprenticeship or an equivalent school leaver programme gives a head start in the world of work and a chance to gain well respected qualifications whilst earning money and expanding on employability skills. A number of students who left the Hemel Hempstead School this summer with excellent A level results have chosen this route. They are about to embark on the start of their work journey at a variety of companies including Santander, BAM Construct and the BBC.
Working in conjunction with the Inspiring Girls Hemel Hempstead Project our female role model programme aims to inspire young women to aim high, believe in themselves and reach their full potential. Students worked with a number of women who gave them an insight into the careers they have followed and the routes into those professions. Students found the programme extremely informative with nearly 100% of them saying it was really helpful. We also now run a role model event for Year 10 boys so they too can benefit from hearing about the career pathways of men from a variety of professions.
