“Every young person needs high-quality career guidance to make informed decisions about their future. Good career guidance is a necessity for social mobility.” Gatsby Benchmarks for Good Careers Guidance.
CAREERS PROGRAMME
Our academy offers students a 7 year programme of careers education, tailored to meet the needs of every individual. From Year 7, through to Year 13, clear connections are made to our curriculum to careers, and students engage with employers, higher-education and apprenticeship providers, to learn about their options.
An outline of our current programme (2021 – 2023) can be viewed here. This will be reviewed and updated in 2023.
Our programme is reviewed annually using the COMPASS+ tracking tool, drawing upon student and staff voice. Our policy is reviewed every year by our Senior Leadership team.
