The vision for Career’s Education at The King’s CE school 

At The King's CE School our vision, through the careers programme, is to equip students with the knowledge, skills and drive to make the choices that will allow them to aspire, believe and achieve throughout their careers. 

They will experience and take part in activities that encourage them to aspire to greatness, reflect on their strengths and build on areas for development and gain an understanding of the different pathways that will allow them to achieve great things.

 

Strategic Overview 

 

The King’s CE school is committed to supporting learners to access high quality support to make decisions about the next step that is right for them, and to aspire to achieve their full potential. Our approach, through learners developing knowledge of career pathways and developing career management skills seeks to impact learners’ early career and long term healthy career success. The King’s CE school is committed to improving the life chances of our learners by offering a programme of CEIAG that is stable, structured and delivered by individuals with the right skills and experience. Our Career’s Strategy is aligned to the Gatsby Benchmarks, and ensures compliance with the Careers Guidance (2018).  

The overall aim of this Careers Strategy is to ensure that the CEIAG offer provides learners with high quality opportunities to prepare learners for the next stage and transition into positive destinations and long term healthy career success. We will:
