At The John Roan School Sixth Form, our careers provision ensures that students are inspired, confident and ambitious in achieving their university and career goals:
Students will be inspired by their teachers’ commitment to getting them to their desired destination.
Students will feel confident in their own abilities and future prospects.
Students are ambitious in their goals because they have the support they need to succeed.
