Careers Support at Southchurch High School<\/u><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Our aim at Southchurch High School is to provide an inclusive, effective and stable careers programme for all our students from Year 7 \u2013 11. We have a dedicated Careers Leader in school who facilitates and promotes our Careers Programme who is also a Level 6 Qualified Careers Advisor. Additionally, we have a member of our Senior Leadership Team responsible for overseeing the Careers Provision within the School. As such we are committed to providing great quality careers education, information, advice and guidance (CEIAG) to help raise our student\u2019s aspirations, so they feel motivated to achieve their goals.<\/span><\/p>\n

Using the Gatsby Benchmarks we have designed a detailed strategy that ensures all of our students will take part in a wide range of activities to help inspire them and help them to make informed decisions about their future. Each year group will have a different focus and will be given bespoke opportunities throughout the school year to develop their skills and discover their potential. This includes external trips, internal visitors, work experience, workshops and visits to local Colleges and Universities. We regularly ask our students to evaluate the support they receive to ensure we are doing all that we can to achieve each benchmark. Students are given the opportunity to give verbal\/written feedback on all the activities that take place and provide ideas of what they may find helpful to them in the future. This helps us to develop our careers strategy and continually improve the quality and effectiveness of the support we provide.<\/span><\/p>\n

As part of our commitment to providing high-quality careers education, we integrate National Apprenticeship Week, National Careers Week and Green Careers Week into our annual programme. These events offer students valuable opportunities to explore different industries, and develop a deeper understanding of the pathways available to them.<\/span><\/p>\n

Summary of Careers Provision at Southchurch High School<\/u><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

We have designed the Southchurch High School\u00a0Careers Evolution model<\/strong>. It identifies our focus for each year group and the types of questions students need answering in relation to their career journey. It also helps to reassure students that they will be prepared and fully equipped for when they leave school. Below you can also see in more detail, the types of activities that students in each year will take part in to support them on their journey.<\/span><\/p>\n
