Gryphon staff are responsible for providing outstanding careers education to their students. Staff have a responsibility to discuss appropriate careers related to their subject.

At the Gryphon, staff are experts in their subject area and should be able to provide useful careers advice to their students, or know how to get more help should this be needed.

If you have any ideas which would help to make the current Careers provision even better please contact Mr Martin at the email below.

Any member of staff or parent can refer students to the Careers and Higher Education Advisor, and students are also very welcome to refer themselves for an appointment.

Email stephen.martin@gryphon.dorset.sch.uk to book an appointment.
