We are delighted to announce that we have been awarded the Career Mark for our careers education.

Careers lead

Our careers leader is Mr M Oakes, Assistant Principal (Personal Development). Mr Oakes can be contacted by emailing [email protected] or by telephone on 01928 711643.

Careers advisers

OBA employs the services of one in-house careers advisor and one freelance careers advisor. Our careers advisers will see all Year 11 and Year 13 students and are happy to meet with students from any other year groups. For example, students approaching work experience in Years 10 and 12 or their options in Year 9 frequently request appointments. If you wish to make an appointment with one of our careers advisers, please email [email protected]

Our advisers hold one-to-one careers guidance sessions with students and provide them with expert and impartial advice on the range of opportunities available to them. This is then followed up with an individual action plan, which will be given to students so that further research can be carried out independently.
