We aim to deliver a careers system that will help young people to choose the career which is right for them. We will provide a programme for all our young people of advice and guidance that is stable and delivered by individuals with the right skills and experiences. We will create opportunities for our young people that they have not experienced before and therefore developing their aspirations and horizons. Their learning will be connected to their future and provide them with the skills necessary to make a successful transition to the next stage of their life.
We are continually reviewing our CEIAG curriculum map to ensure any fragile learning is addressed over this academic year. The curriculum map is reviewed annually in June by both Sir Thomas Boteler Church of England High School and the TCAT Careers and Aspirations Hub. Next review date: June 2021.
We will use The eight Gatsby Charitable Foundation Benchmarks to support the delivery of our careers provision:

Sir Thomas Boteler Church of England High School continually assesses and measures the impact of our Careers Programme on our students. Sessions/workshops are evaluated by visitors, teacher and students and adaptations are made if needed to. This will ensure a high quality CEIAG programme for all our students. Student voice is listened to on a regular basis to ensure students are inspired and prepared for their futures by our programme.
