Careers

Dorothy Goodman School will provide a relevant and engaging embedded careers curriculum which meets the differing needs and requirements of our students whilst also building on the foundation of social communication skills. This is developed, reviewed and personalised throughout a student’s time at the school and is always supportive of their abilities, interests, strengths and skills.

Our Careers Leader is Jo Linwood supported by Sue Whawell. If you have any queries about careers, further education or work experience, please contact Sue on 01455 634582 or susan.whawell@dorothygoodman.leics.sch.uk

We seek independent careers education, information, advice & guidance from Above and Beyond Careers, who are a bespoke provider with expertise in working with pupils in specialist provision.
