Destinations
All students are encouraged to be reflective (with the help of a psychometric profiling programme) and to make informed, individual progression decisions. The Careers Department supports students in whatever pathway they choose and this has led to successful destinations to higher education, employment and apprenticeships.

My son has the chance to go to Imperial College, London or Durham University to study Chemistry. He has not only enjoyed studying at Hereford but has also taken part in other activities and made some good friends. We are very, very happy and extremely grateful to everyone at the College.
