We are proud to have launched our Aspirations Programme in September 2020 for all students in years 7-11.

It will form the basis of our Careers, Education, Information, Advice and Guidance (CEIAG) offering within school. The programme is embedded within our tutorial period, with students exploring a wide range of topics relevant to where they are in their school journey. Twice weekly they will explore topics including “What is Higher Education?”, “Exploring Apprenticeships” and “Employability Skills” to name just a few. The feedback from students has been very positive, hopefully by this point your child will have mentioned some of the themes they have enjoyed so far.

We are confident this programme will provide students with the skills and information they need to make informed decisions about their choices at post 16 and beyond. The Aspirations Programme is shaped by key developments within the labour market to ensure the content is current and meaningful. Activity will be complimented by local employer engagements, university guidance and career spotlights from those within the industry.

Our website will be updated shortly to include our CEIAG policy and Aspiration Programme overview. We will also signpost to key links and information including useful parent/carer videos and resources which will help you explore ‘next steps’ with your child.
