Life After Faculty

Life Beyond The Faculty of Queen Ethelburga’s

Preparing students for their lives beyond QE Faculty begins at the end of Year 12.

Students are encouraged to use Morrisby, a website that helps students to research careers and plan their future. Faculty staff support students with their course selection or looking into alternative routes to university.

"Many [students] go on to study at universities with demanding entry requirements in the UK and abroad and some gain competitive sports scholarships."

For students wanting to apply for Oxbridge, Veterinary, Medicine or Law, the Careers Team have an Early Applicants programme to support them with their application and to guide them through researching their options. Once in Year 13, students have the support of specialist supervisors who coach them through the application process and provide interview practice for apprenticeships, the workplace or university.

After students receive their results the Heads of Department, Faculty Team, the Careers Department and the Academic Director are all on hand to provide advice or guidance they may need.

At the end of Year 13, our Graduation Service and Speech Day is a highlight of the year where we celebrate all our leavers’ achievements. Many receive subject and year group prizes for their outstanding academic and co-curricular achievements.
