Careers Programme
Our aim is to provide a planned programme of learning experiences from Year 7 to Year 13 both integrated within the curriculum, in the classroom and via external opportunities in the world of work.
We work with students ranging from Year 13 as we believe every child requires career education.
Support in Years 7, 8 and 9
By the end of year 7, all students will participate in a Money management careers workshop with employers as well as have the opportunity to attend a work place visit or workshop. All students complete 2 enrichment clubs.
By the end of year 8, all students will participate in a Skills for Success workshop with employers as well as have the opportunity to attend a work place visit or workshop. All students complete 2 enrichment clubs.
By the end of year 9, all students will participate in an Options and Careers workshop with employers as well as have the opportunity to attend a work place visit or workshop.
Our programme measures and assesses the impact of the careers programme on our students and is renewed annually.
We plan the programme based on the Great Gatsby Benchmarks taking into consideration student feedback to make changes where necessary.
We review our careers programme on a yearly basis by ensuring that activities and events that students find most valuable are embedded within our plan whilst following guidance from the Gatsby Benchmarks
