Our Aims and Priorities for Careers Curriculum, Information, Advice and Guidance
Our school’s strategic career plan contains 5 driving priorities:
- To ensure that pupils develop the skills and character traits required to help them engage in their future adult and working lives.
- To help foster and sustain a culture of high aspiration.
- To promote equitable opportunity, celebrate diversity and inclusivity, challenge cultural stereotypes and ensure pupils are afforded additional support and guidance to reach their potential.
- To establish sustainable links between the school, local businesses and enterprises and further/higher education providers.
- To assist pupils in developing skills and confidence to make well-informed decisions about future aspirations.
