Welcome to the Huntington School Aspirations (Careers) Department Page. On this page, and those linked to it, you will find a range of information to support your child on their journey through Huntington School and off into the wider world of work, education, and training.

At Huntington, we are committed to providing the best possible careers support for our students, families, and staff. As part of this commitment, we are proud to announce that we have achieved the Quality in Careers Status, the national quality award for careers education, information, advice, and guidance (CEIAG) in secondary schools. This accreditation demonstrates our dedication to delivering high-quality careers support and guidance.

Career Development Institute (CDI)

All Careers Education Information and Guidance (CEIAG) at Huntington is designed and delivered with the CDI in mind. Our curriculum follows the CDI framework to ensure all key information and experiences are received by our students, and we also adhere strictly to the CDI Code of Ethics (see below). 

Mr. Daniel, our Aspirations Teaching and Learning Manager (and qualified careers adviser), is now a member of CDI and undertakes regular professional CPD to maintain this status.

Huntington School Alumni in Careers

As you will see from our overview and our Aspirations Fair, we love to engage with employers when planning and delivering our CEIAG. We are also keen to involve Huntington School Alumni as much as possible in careers' activities, so our current students can be inspired by past generations. If you are a Huntington Alumni and would like to get more involved, please add yourself to our Alumni network here Huntington School - Alumni or contact s.daniel@huntington-ed.org.uk to find out more about how you can be involved.
