Student Information
Every student at Ipswich Academy has the opportunity to take part in a number of careers and enterprise activities throughout the year. Highlights for our students include our work experience week and the many enterprise and employer activities we host in school. Every year the group has the opportunity to explore careers through careers lessons which are taught as part of the PSHE timetable.
We are always pleased to hear how you are progressing with your careers learning and welcome feedback on which activities you have enjoyed or have particularly benefited from. The careers team is committed to help you prepare for your future whichever route you take, so please do engage in the many opportunities that are available to you.
