Career Pathways - The World of Employment
At Bruche we are committed to ensuring that all our pupils in Years 1 to 6 have high quality experiences in career opportunities, and that they progress onto High school, sixth form or high quality apprenticeships after High school with clear career goals in mind.
We believe that giving our pupils the best careers education and guidance is vital to improving their motivation so that, by the time they enter Year 11 in Kings Leadership Academy, Birchwood High School, Cardinal Newman or Sir Thomas Boteler High School, they are much more ready to continue to follow their aspirations in the World of Employment.
All students will be entitled to a World of Work Programme that:
- Supports the academy’s mission of enhancing the future social mobility of all students, irrespective of educational starting points, ethnicity, family background, disability or postcode by providing good quality independent careers advice and personal guidance which inspires them, meets their need and motivates them to fulfil their potential.
- Is based on the 8 Gatsby Benchmarks for good Careers Information Advice and Educational Guidance (CIAEG).
- Inspires them to develop high aspirations and consider a broad and ambitious range of future career opportunities regardless of gender, ability or social background.
