Launching Future-Ready Careers
At Knightsbridge School, we believe that preparing your child for life beyond school is paramount. Our comprehensive careers program is designed to create future-ready young adults, equipping them with the essential knowledge, skills, and confidence to navigate an ever-changing world. We provide rich opportunities to explore diverse and inspiring career paths, helping students connect their passions with real-world possibilities. A key component of this journey is the Year 10 Work Experience week, where students gain invaluable, hands-on experience in professional environments. Our students have recently interned at prestigious organisations, including Turkish Airlines, Shell, the Irish Embassy, and leading 5-star hotels, offering a truly global and high-calibre start to their professional exploration. We’re dedicated to ensuring every student leaves us not just with excellent results, but with a clear, well-informed vision for their future.
We aim to inspire our students with their future careers through:
- Guest Speaker talks
- Sixth Form and University tours/open days
- Career days in collaboration with other Dukes’ Senior Schools
- Dedicated Careers Champion in school who is responsible for organising career events and opportunities for students
- Volunteering opportunities in Y7-Y11
- Work experience in Y10
