Careers Programme

A stable career programme

• Aurora Severnside School have developed a stable, structured careers programme that has the explicit backing of the senior management team.
• Once agreed by the senior management team a statement will be added to the school’s website.
• Feedback will be captured by different ways to show distance travelled.

Learning from career and labour market information

• Students and parents can access and use information about labour markets and future study options to inform their support for their children’s career pathways.

Addressing the needs of each student

• Each student will have a folder allocated to them with their individual Moving on Plan.
• These folders will be kept in school for students to access.
• Rebuild Support will, with the Transitions Team and contribute to destinations and provide data for subsequent data comparisons.

Linking curriculum learning to careers

• Rebuild Support will provide a range of career-based workshops that will count as career encounters to enhance their careers awareness and knowledge.

Encounters with employers and employees

• Rebuild Support will support the staff with arranging a series of speakers and employer visits. 

Experiences of workplaces

• Each Year 10 student will undertake an experience of work placement.  This placement will have a “Health & Safety Assessment” and a current ELI (Employer Liability Insurance) Certificate. It will also provide an additional assessment based on any additional needs that the student may have).

Encounters with further and higher education

• This will be achieved through parents’ evenings, during which families/students will be signposted to information evenings.

• Rebuild Support will provide each student with an initial careers interview and any subsequent follow-up interview.  The advice/guidance and any decisions discussed will be recorded on a “Moving on Plan” and filed within their allocated folder.
