What's Next?

At STAHS, our Teach to 25 philosophy means everything we do is geared towards preparing our students for their next steps. We encourage them to think beyond the obvious choices and turn their passions into careers.

Our Careers and High Education Teams sit at the very heart of the School. They oversee well-resourced programmes designed to help STAHS pupils understand how the skills and knowledge they are acquiring now can be transferred and applied to any number of post-secondary education and career choices open to them.

Alumni

We have a vibrant worldwide community of STAHS alumni who frequently support our current students by giving up their
time to attend events or offer guidance in a specific industry.

Our comprehensive careers programme includes an online mentoring network providing Sixth Formers and recent leavers with the opportunity to contact STAHS alumni studying at their chosen higher education setting or working in an industry they are interested in. In addition, we offer a curated Jobs Board and a consultation with a professional careers advisor.

Our online portal enables alumni to stay connected to STAHS and each other via a dynamic and engaging platform, and our regular e-newsletters and annual alumni magazine keep alumni up to date with the latest information on reunions, careers events and alumni news.
