GUIDANCE

Every child should leave school prepared for modern Britain. Careers and Enterprise Information, Advice and Guidance (CEIAG) is crucial in helping pupils emerge from school more fully rounded and ready for the world of work. The Academy deliver impartial careers guidance through a range of processes designed to develop high aspirations in pupils, encourage pupils to consider a broad and ambitious range of careers and enable individuals to make informed choices and transitions related to their personal, educational and careers development. This range of processes will include informing, advising, counselling, enabling, advocating and careers education.

Through our Leadership specialism and enrichment programme, we develop links with leading local employers in the professions, business, industry and the public, community and voluntary sectors. As well as addressing the pupils and answering their questions about what it’s like to work in their field, we look for exciting work experience and mentoring opportunities with them.
