Careers Guidance and Information

  • A programme of small group and individual meetings will be arranged for all pupils and students from the end of Year 10 onwards. All pupils and students at school can request an appointment with the Careers Advisor and Careers Lead, this will mainly be aimed at Year 10, Year 11, Year 12 and Year 13 pupils and students as these are most likely to benefit from the programme.  Pupils and students are identified for careers meetings based on need and through self-referrals and tutors.
  • Students will critically analyse texts by recognising writers’ viewpoints and perspectives.  
  • They will respond to ideas/themes by having a personal response whilst using textual evidence to support their ideas.
  • Where appropriate, they will understand the relationships between texts and the context they were written.
  • Pupils and students may refer themselves for a careers meeting at any point, directly via the Careers Advisor, via a Form Tutor or Google Classroom. An appointment with an advisor will then be arranged. Pupils and students are made aware of the Careers Advisor through assemblies and via form tutors.

 

  • Pupils and students will record action plans in the Careers Organiser and the advisor will record on Google Drive. Parents and staff have the option to see this information so they can support the process.
  • Careers information is available through the careers library based on Google Classroom and subject areas have displays informing pupils about specific information in line with the available careers in their subject area. 
  • Online resources include the National Careers Service website and a range of reliable websites collated by the Careers lead.

A range of external providers are invited into school to support the careers programme. These might include local colleges, universities, training providers, apprenticeship organisations, employers, school alumni, or staff from various projects.

There are many websites available which provide information about careers. Some are directly related to particular industries and others are less specific. However you may wish to use some of the following to explore some of the options which are available to you.
