Careers Information

Here at Aureus School, we take our students on a Careers Journey that will equip them for the world of work.

We closely follow the eight Gatsby Benchmarks to ensure that our students have a full and well rounded experience, preparing them for life beyond Aureus.

The Gatsby Benchmarks

We are excited to be working with Unifrog to help us record and map our experiences, ensuring students can clearly see their careers journey with us:                    

  

Employers

Here at Aureus we are proud to work with local employers to bring the very best and up to date information about working in Oxfordshire.

We welcome new relationships with employers who are available to show case what they can offer our young people and would be delighted to hear from you if you would like to support us at one of our events.
