Careers Education, Information, Advice, and Guidance

We embed careers into our curriculum from year 7 through to the end of year 11 to ensure that all of our students can make informed choices about their future. Our careers programme is embedded within tutor time and our project 5 curriculum, on a weekly basis, as well as within curriculum subjects. There are additional careers lessons within KS4 PSHE lessons.

As part of our careers offer, student access careers fairs, motivational guest speakers, visits to colleges and universities as well as visits to employers and businesses to gain work place experience.

We offer impartial Careers Information Advice and Guidance at key stage four and work closely with the local authority and post-16 providers to identify suitable pathways during the transition review process.

Support for parents and carers is available to ensure all stakeholders are fully informed of the requirements in regards to the careers guidance and provide support for all stakeholders to fully engage in the process of transition.

The programme is designed to inspire and motivate students to fulfil their potential by exploring different fields of work, identifying where their interests lie and equipping them to make informed choices about their future career route, based on up-to date knowledge of the employment market.

One to one support is provided for students to develop CVs and personal statements as well as apply for post-16 education, employment and training. This is personalised to the needs of the learner.

Our aim is to challenge stereotypes and raise aspirations for young people with special educational needs who face adversities within education. We strive to actively promote equality and diversity and remove barrier to progression from secondary education into post-16 education, employment or training.

Students progress on to a range of colleges and further education within the East Riding as well as apprenticeships and vocational provider pathways.
