The landscape of education, training and employment opportunities that students and parents need to navigate is more complex and challenging than that faced by previous generations.
To help and guide our students, as they start to consider their future, we offer careers education and guidance via the curriculum, assemblies, work experience and 1-1 meetings with a qualified Careers Adviser.
We welcome approaches from, and work with, higher education providers, local further education colleges, apprenticeship providers, employers and our alumni to support our CEIAG programme. Further information on our provider access policy and procedures can be located in the school policy section. (not sure if needed)
The Academy has completed the Careers and Enterprise Company Compass evaluation tool and is using this to support the development of the Academy’s Career Development Plan.
