Career Guidance and Access for Education and Training Providers

At Shevington High School we understand that we have a statutory duty to provide independent careers education, information, advice and guidance for our pupils and students between the Years of 8 and 13. We believe that the career guidance programme we provide should be a continual and progressive process throughout the various stages of a pupilā€™s experience with us from Key Stage 3 (Years 7 and 8), Key Stage 4 (Years 9, 10 and 11). Career Guidance is an important part of a pupil and students development and, with this in mind, we have formed a dedicated team of staff so that pupils and students questions and worries can be answered quickly. We have created and developed an innovative and varied careers programme to prepare pupils for the wider world by giving them the knowledge, tools and insight needed to help them make confident and informed decisions that are appropriate to them, when faced with important choices in the future. Our aim at Shevington High School is for our pupils and students to:

  • develop positive attitudes and enquiring minds towards study and work
  • be able to evaluate their own likes and dislikes and see themselves as individuals who do not need to follow the crowd
  • be able to fully engage in their own career planning
  • leave Shevington High School with a range of transferable skills that will enable them to be successful in their future career planning (e.g. each pupil will leave Year 11 with a current CV that they have planned and developed themselves; they will know how and where to access websites and information about future career paths and choices; they will know what is expected of them in an interview situation)
  • understand opportunities at key transition points (such as leaving school, college, university, changing jobs) and be able to make effective and appropriate decisions at these points and put these decisions into action
  • be able to access clear, relevant and impartial careers information, advice and guidance appropriate to their personal needs throughout their time with us
  • be able to achieve personal and economic wellbeing throughout their lives
  • be motivated and enthused so that they can realise their full potential

The Programme

Careers Programme

We deliver the above by providing pupils with a variety of careers activities and experiences relevant to their stage of development ā€“ known as the careers programme. This planned programme of impartial careers information, advice and guidance is conducted with the help of internal staff, external professional providers, and institutes such as universities, colleges and business representatives. Activities range from in-house activities where guest speakers and exhibitors are invited, to trips outside of school, to 1:1 careers interviews to name a few.

We have used empirical research and evidence taken from the Department of Educationā€™s paper: ā€œCareers strategy: making the most of everyoneā€™s skills and talentsā€(Dec, 2017), the Government paper: ā€œCareers guidance and access for education and training providers: Statutory guidance for schools on providing careers guidanceā€ (Jan, 2018) and the 8 Gatsby Benchmarks to inform and develop our careers programme to make it relevant, impartial , and robust and compliant with Ofsted and statutory regulations.

Pupils from any Year who feel they need 1:1 careers advice and guidance can book an appointment through their Form Tutor or by directly contacting the Careers Adviser (Ms Williams) on [email protected] Parent/pupil meetings are also available on request.

As with the Curriculum, the Careers programme is reviewed annually, and adjusted by staff and the leadership team to make sure that the programme is relevant and meets the needs of its pupils and students. The above programme is the main school careers programme and is the minimum any pupil and student will receive as part of their development and enrichment. Many other school trips and events related to careers will take place during the school year run by various staff members.

Careers Team track pupil destinations after leaving Yearā€™s 11.
