Career Policy
Rationale and Vision
Our academy is committed to ensuring all of our students have access to highly impartial careers advice and to a range of employers who can support them in considering their future. To help us do this we align our CEIAG Plan to the Gatsby Benchmarks which have been explicitly referenced throughout the DfE’s Careers Strategy (December 2017) the Statutory Guidance for careers (January 2018) and aligns to the delivery of independent careers guidance to year 8-13 pupils in accordance with section 42A of the Education Act 1997.
The 8 Gatsby Benchmarks are outlined below:
1. A stable careers programme.
2. Learning from career and Labour Market Information.
3. Addressing the needs of each student.
4. Linking curriculum learning to careers.
5. Encounters with employers and employees.
6. Experience of work places.
7. Encounters with further and higher education.
8. Personal guidance.
The vision for the development of CEIAG across our academy is to provide the very best opportunities to enable our students to make informed and incisive decisions throughout, and beyond, their school life. By using the Gatsby benchmarks as a framework of best practice we have a CEIAG programme that meets the needs of our ever changing cohort of students, providers and labour market landscape. Our plan promotes equality of opportunity, celebrates diversity and challenges stereotypes whilst inspiring, raising aspirations and giving our students an optimistic outlook on life and their place in the world of work. We are always guided by our Coop values:
Do what Matters Most
What matters most is ensuring that our students achieve the best possible outcomes.
Be Yourself, Always
We bring our best self to work, so that we each contribute a bit of our own unique Co-op difference, and respect others for doing the same.
Show you Care
We care about our Co-op, our colleagues, our members, our students, their parents and communities, now and for the future.
Succeed Together
Co-operating is what makes us different; we’re better and stronger when we work together.
Intent
Our CEIAG programme is both bespoke and unique to our academy and is reviewed on an annual basis to meet our students needs based on our monitoring and evaluation processes. We are committed to providing a coherently planned and sequenced programme that reflects our academies context and core values. Our programme is designed to entitle all learners to develop their knowledge, skills, understanding and cultural capital they need to go on to destinations that meet their aspirations and interests. With this in mind we aim:-
- To provide impartial and independent advice for all pupils (Gatsby 1 - 8)
- To contribute to strategies for raising achievement, especially by increasing motivation, attitude to learning and attendance (Gatsby 3)
- To support inclusion, challenge stereotyping and promote equality of opportunity (Gatsby 3,4)
- To encourage participation in continued learning including higher education, further education and apprenticeships (Gatsby 7,8)
- To develop enterprise and employment skills (Gatsby 2,3)
- To provide relevant information and understanding of the wide range of pathways and qualifications available to ensure students make the right choices regarding their post 16 options and hence reduce ‘drop out’ from and ‘course switching’ in education and training (Gatsby 3,5,6,7,8)
- To contribute to the economic prosperity of individuals and communities (Gatsby 2,5,7)
- To meet the needs of all our pupils through appropriate differentiation (Gatsby 3)
- To focus students on their future aspirations and opportunities (Gatsby 3,4,8)
- To involve parents and carers (Gatsby 1,2,5,6,7)
- To support the raising of the participation age and assist with positive destinations for all pupils post 16, 17 and 18 (Gatsby 1,4,8)
- To meet the needs of our current cohort of students across each year group (Gatsby 1,3)
- To use current LMI to enable students, staff and parents to engage actively with local and national CEIAG information so that they can increase their knowledge and understanding about the world of work. (Gatsby 1,2,3)
- To use student's parents, staff feedback to reflect on our current provision in order to develop our future CEIAG programme (Gatsby 1,2,3)
- To provide additional support to specific vulnerable groups such as SEND and pupil premium (Gatsby 1-8)
- All stakeholders have a clear understanding of CEIAG and rationale and vision (Gatsby 1)
- To monitor and evaluate current provision in order to ensure our programme is quality assured in line with other curriculum areas (Gatsby 1)
- To share best practice with other Co-op academies at network events to ensure reflection and development of own programme (Gatsby 1)
- To ensure all students actively engage with a CEIAG tracking platform to support them in making informed choices about their Career development plan (Gatsby 1,2,3)
- To achieve / work towards a Quality in Careers award in recognition of all that our academy offers (Gatsby 1)
