Careers Information Advice and Guidance
Careers education at Lime Academy Orton is linked intrinsically to our approach to Preparation For Adulthood (PFA) for our pupils. This begins as pupils join the school and is embedded into both their individual Education Health Care Plan outcomes and their bespoke curriculum offer. For us and our leaners CIAG is having a planned pathway for life after school.
Fundamentally we want all our pupils to be supported to develop the skills they need to make choices and have a voice which enables them to partake in meaningful daily activity and the wider world around them once they move on from our setting. To enable us to support our pupils in achieving this we have created and sustain a wealth of partnerships with external Post 16/19 providers locally to allow them to experience first-hand the opportunities available to them in their adult life and therefore enable them to make informed choices about what comes next after school.
The school’s careers programme embraces the eight Gatsby benchmarks of good Career Guidance:
- A stable careers programme
- Learning form career and labour market information
- Addressing the needs of each pupil
- Linking curriculum to careers
- Encounters with employers and employees
- Experiences of workplaces
- Encounters with further and higher education
- Personal guidance
As with all areas of learning within the school these activities are presented to pupils on an individual basis, in a timely fashion, that takes account of their unique age, stage, interests and needs.
