Best-in-class careers provision
Our pupils dream big for life after school thanks to our highly aspirational careers programme, which uses the nationally-recognised Gatsby framework as its basis.
As part of this process, we are delighted to share that our school is committed to achieving the Quality in Careers Standard, a nationally recognised external accreditation for excellence in careers education, guidance and support. This commitment reflects our dedication to ensuring that every student at Ark Kings Academy has access to comprehensive, relevant, and effective careers education.

Careers Advisor
The Birmingham Careers Service provides information on career support available to students, including a dedicated adviser, Helen Richards, who is in school every Wednesday. Pupils are welcome to visit the library during break or lunchtime on Wednesdays if they would like to speak with Helen for advice.
The resources on their website include access to career planning tools, details on apprenticeships, sixth-form and college open days, and a virtual careers marketplace. Students can explore career paths linked to their interests and strengths.
