The Flagpole

A reminder that all Work Experience correspondence should be sent to Jacqui Quinney, Head of Careers at jacquiquinney@princethorpe.co.uk.

We thought we would take this opportunity to remind you of what we do and where we can be found. Our office is in F43 on Lower Pugin, and Kerry Low and I welcome visits from students and staff with queries and questions. 

Here is reminder of what we aim to do.

For pupils

For all year groups we can talk about pupils' choices and options for subjects and careers. We offer each pupil a one-to-one guidance interview in Year 10 and Year 11 and again in Lower Sixth. Pupils are also welcome to pop into F43 at lunch, tutor or breaktime for further help. We also contribute to the careers curriculum that runs from Year 7 to Upper Sixth in PHSE and provide information for all the choices the pupils will need to make at the appropriate time.

For parents

Parents can contact the careers team with any queries via email and one of us will get in touch.

Some degree courses require students to take an admissions test as part of their application. It will be stated in the entry requirements for the course and Sixth Form students can check with their tutor or a member of the Sixth Form Leadership Team. Registration for these tests is now open and must be completed by 29 September 2023. Late registrations are not accepted.

The BMAT and TMUA tests have a fee of £78. All other tests are free.

Tests take place in school during October and early November depending on the subject. More information can be found online at For test-takers | Cambridge Assessment Admissions Testing

To be entered for a test please contact examinations@princethorpe.co.uk .
