Employer Area

At St Edmund Campion Catholic School we are supporting and developing our pupils who will become employees and employers of the future.  As a school we want to strengthen and develop our links with local businesses so that we can inspire our students’ career aspirations, develop their employability skills and help them understand the array of job opportunities that are on offer. We would be delighted to hear from you if you would like to offer input into our careers programme.  We are looking to develop strong links with local businesses so please do get in touch.  Even if you have an idea of how you can support, we would love to hear from you as we are keen and committed to building lasting links. Please see the "How You Can Help Section".

We are looking for employers to help us bring the world of work to our pupils and excel in the eight Gatsby Benchmarks.
