We are proud to integrate a progressive career provision into the education of our pupils, aligning seamlessly with our core values of: aspiration, endeavour, respect and kindness. Our programme has been developed in line with key industry frameworks and we aim to equip all our students with the knowledge and cultural awareness essential for personal growth and success.

At NULS, we know the value that Super-Curricular programmes can offer students in allowing them to succeed further in their academic and professional lives. These programmes bring a range of skills and experiences to our students that few schools can offer at such a high level.

Our Senior School pupils have the opportunity to join various societies as part of our NULS Futures Pathways. We know that many of our students are committed to careers in Law and in Medicine, Dentistry, Veterinary Studies and Engineering which is why we have developed our highly successful Pre-Med, Pre-Law and Pre-Engineering societies, allowing pupils to gain skills and develop knowledge in preparation for challenging university applications. With more societies on the horizon, we aim to create a suite of pathways to help our pupils access and achieve success in a wide range of careers.

Throughout Sixth Form we work with our students to identify their options for life after NULS, provide guidance and help them navigate the processes involved in accessing a variety of routes. As they approach the end of Year 12, our students attend a Higher Education Morning, a UCAS exhibition, as well as a Post-18 Options Information Evening for Parents. All students are provided with ongoing support in navigating the UCAS admissions process.

In addition to the support offered for accessing University, we provide guidance for our pupils looking to pursue different routes including Degree Apprenticeship and Gap Years.

Underpinning all of our careers support for senior students is our Futures Pathways Programme which helps students to learn about and prepare for their chosen vocational area of interest. Areas include Law, Engineering, Creative and Performing Arts, Medicine, Veterinary Medicine and Dentistry, Sport, and Business.
