Careers and Personal Development

At The Beaconsfield School we are committed to ensuring all students have access to impartial careers advice from third party agencies, support in school and access to employers who can advise students when considering their future options.

Please do get in touch for any specific careers enquiries - careers@beaconsfield.school

Impartial careers advice in school is provided by our link worker Mrs Sue Cross

To ensure we are providing a balanced careers programme, we link our careers guidance to the Gatsby Benchmarks which have been explicitly referenced throughout the DfE’s Careers Strategy (December 2017) and the new Statutory Guidance for Careers (January 2018). These 8 benchmarks are outlined below:

A stable careers programme
Learning from labour market information
Addressing the needs of each pupil
Linking curriculum learning to careers
Encounters with employers and employees
Experiences of workplaces
Encounters with further and higher education
Personal guidance

Aims of the Careers Programme

The main components of the programme are:

a planned programme of CEAIG for all ages
access to independent and impartial information on opportunities in learning and work
access to individualised careers guidance and support
experience of the workplace to develop key employability skills
To identify and reduce the likelihood of students becoming NEET or dropping out through a variety of interventions.
ensure students have interactions with a variety of colleges, training providers, employers and universities in order to make an informed decision.
