Careers Education, Information, Advice and Guidance (CEIAG)

My name is Sumera. I am a careers adviser and I work with the company Adviza Partnership. I have a degree in Sociology as well as a postgraduate certificate in Coaching. I have experienced a few different roles before I decided to become a careers' adviser. I love anything to do with relaxation (body and mind) including massages, yoga and a good Ted talk.

Sumera visits the school two/three days a week and can be found in the Careers area in The Hive. She will also be attending Open Evenings and Parents Evenings. Everyone in Year 11 will be given an appointment and everyone else can book a consultation by emailing:

careers@highdown.reading.sch.uk, Mrs Robinson elrobinson@highdown.reading.sch.uk or Mr Franks haf@highdown.reading.sch.uk
