Careers
Sponne School is committed to providing a stable careers programme that is embedded in our PSHE curriculum and tutorial programme. We have a named Careers lead (Lisa Bhakta- Assistant Headteacher) who is a member of the senior leadership team and our PSHE co-ordinator (Mrs A Warner - OCR Level 6 Diploma in Career Guidance and Development) has responsibility for the delivery of the careers provision across the school. We work with external providers such as Prospects for independent careers advice and guidance and 1-1 interviews. Proactive Education helps us to deliver an established work experience for our year 10 students and students have another opportunity for work placements during year 12. Careers events are also provided for alongside this and students are given the academic and pastoral support needed for them to reach their full potential. Student voice is a key component to reviewing our provision and this allows pupils the opportunities to become central to developing our CEIAG programme.
We were accredited with the Careers Standard revalidation award, provided by Career Mark in January 2018 with them recognising that “The CEIAG programme is most certainly impacting on students. They are clearly developing the skills, knowledge, and attitudes required to effectively manage their careers journeys. Students value CEAIG and know its importance in their future lives. It is not seen as an add-on activity but a key part of their education.”
