Careers & Employability

Welcome to the Wilmington Grammar School for Girls (WGSG) careers area. We have a well-defined careers programme that includes workplace experience, employer visits, and talks from specialists working in various sectors. This is combined with a whole school approach to careers learning within the curriculum to help our students appreciate the relevance of subject knowledge and skills in the workplace, and understand the progression routes available.

Making well-informed decisions about their future careers and subject choices includes providing students with access to information about future career prospects and employment options through tools such as Unifrog. To explore our offer for each year group in more detail please view the documents at the end of this page for Students, Parent/Carer, Employers and Alumni. 

The School welcomes external providers and employers speaking with our students about career pathways as detailed in our Provider Access Statement. Please contact dmartin@wgsg.co.uk to arrange this or to discuss how you can  develop links with our school to support students career aspirations.

Evaluating the impact of the careers programme to ensure that it is effective and that students are making the most of the opportunities it provides is a vital part of our careers programme. Based on student feedback we use the  FUTURES logo across the school to highlight all careers related activities which enables students to make the connection between their learning and careers.

We hope that you have found this information helpful, please do let us know if you have any thoughts or feedback or can support us by sharing your career journey. Lastly, if you are an alumnus of the school, we would invite you to follow us on LinkedIn.

 Best regards,

Mrs Dhaliwal, Assistant Head Teacher and Careers Leader
