Our careers programme is comprehensive. CEIAG is delivered through form time, assemblies, drop down days, individual subject’s curriculum and in Personal Development time. The Gatsby Benchmarks are mapped out clearly in all we deliver.
Information, Advice & Guidance
All students in Years 7 – 11 have the right to Careers Education and Guidance about the pathways and choices which are open to them.
