Throughout your time at Birchwood, you will be provided with a wealth of information in order to make an informed decision about your future. You will also receive advice, guidance and development on ‘real world’ skills which you will need to navigate yourself through the next steps, once you leave school. This information will be provided through the Personal Development lessons, form time activities and assemblies, as well as bespoke careers related activities and events.
