Post-16 Pathways

Every young person needs high-quality career guidance to make informed decisions about their future.

Careers

The core intent of our Careers Education, Information, Advice, and Guidance (CEIAG) curriculum is to fully prepare every student to make ambitious, well-informed, and independent decisions about their future, ensuring they are equipped with the knowledge, skills, and experiences necessary for career and economic wellbeing.

Our programme is rigorously designed to meet and exceed the updated Gatsby Benchmarks, with a comprehensive curriculum delivered through dedicated Personal Development (PD) lessons as well as being strategically integrated into other curriculum areas to demonstrate the real-world relevance of academic study. 

We work closely with key regional partners, including The Cheshire and Warrington Pledge and MPLOY Solutions, to provide inspirational, impartial, and personalised career pathways that are relevant to the local Labour Market. To ensure students have meaningful, practical experiences, the curriculum includes workplace visits in Key Stage 3 to build foundational LMI and curiosity, and a substantial work experience (self) placement opportunity for every student in Year 10, collectively ensuring that our students leave school confident and clear about their next steps into employment, apprenticeships, or further education.

We have close links with all our local colleges ensuring that we are able to support students as they continue along their learning pathways.
