Careers

At Barlby High School our vision is that every child should flourish and develop a real love of learning. We want the very best for all our students and have high expectations for all. This is born from the belief that every child is full of potential and has a unique role to play in society. We wish for all students to reach and exceed their full academic potential at Barlby High School and progress successfully into further and higher education, training and employment and develop a lifelong love of learning. To flourish and thrive in their personal development and to make a positive contribution as active citizens to the local, national and global community. 

Our students have access to careers guidance and information from their first day with us in Year 7 until they move on to further education or training after their examinations in Year 11. 

Barlby High School’s careers leader is Karly Wallace who can be contacted on careers@bhs.hslt.academy or 01757 706161. Please contact Karly Wallace if you would like further information about our careers programme.

Students will have the opportunity to attend a careers guidance appointment with Mrs Janis Wilson (j.wilson@bhs.hslt.academy), our independent Careers Advisor and students in other year groups can request an interview at any time during the year by speaking to their form tutor.

Baker Clause Policy Statement

Barlby High School adheres to the Baker Clause Policy Statement stipulating that schools must ensure that a “range of education and training providers” have access to students from Year 7 to Year 11 so that the students can be informed of the technical education and apprenticeships options that are available to them post 16.
