CEIAG will, therefore, contribute to raising pupil’s achievement, help pupils focus on their longer-term career ambitions and ensure an equality of opportunity for all.
The Careers & Transition team work within a clear framework which aims to meet statutory requirements whilst we constantly evolve our Careers Delivery Plan to achieve the Gatsby Benchmarks, enhancing pupils prospects, encouraging them to contribute to their communities and preparing them for the challenges and opportunities of further education, training and working life to reduce their risk of becoming NEET (Not in Education, Employment or Training). Pupils in our academies are very well supported as they make their applications to colleges, Traineeships, Apprenticeships, Sixth Forms and Post 16 options.
It is our aim for every pupil to complete year 11, prepared for life in modern Britain. The Careers & Transition team work in order to enhance pupils’ prospects, encouraging them to contribute to their communities and preparing them for the challenges and opportunities of further education, training and working life. A programme of careers education, information and guidance is delivered to pupils from Key Stage 3 to Key Stage 4 providing opportunities to experience the world of work, have contact with employers and local further and higher education providers. High quality, Independent careers guidance is also delivered to every young person before finishing the end of KS4 which is crucial in helping our pupils emerge from school more fully rounded and ready for the world of work therefore it is our intention to ensure that our pupils are well informed when making career decisions.
Our delivery is underpinned by the Department for Education Careers Strategy 2017 ‘Making the most of everyone’s skills & talents’ and is compliant with the careers guidance set out by the Government ‘Careers Guidance and Inspiration for young people in schools’, which states all schools must give education and training providers the opportunity to talk to pupils about approved technical qualifications and apprenticeships. In addition, we further support “Careers guidance access for education and training providers guidance (Jan 2023)” and our delivery is measured against 8 Gatsby Benchmarks.
Endeavour Academy works with providers in order to identify the most effective opportunity for pupils and share information around the education and training opportunities locally and nationally.
Appendix 1 within the Careers Policy (click here for a link to the policy) outlines the way in which education and training providers should get in touch with us in order to gain access to pupils and/or parents to inform them about further opportunities This complies with the school’s legal obligations under Section 42B of the Education Act 1997.
