At The Kingsmead School, we are committed to providing all our students with a comprehensive programme of impartial careers advice and guidance, work experience, employability workshops and aspiration days throughout 7-11, to help our students to be inspired about their future employment options and to help them make positive choices once leaving Kingsmead.
Our Aims
The Kingsmead School delivers careers as a discrete curriculum, which is part of the PHSE Framework. PSHE promotes self and role awareness, decision making, coping with transitions, relating to others and healthy living and wellbeing in a careers context.
Careers lessons have allocated time within the timetable and facilitated through a range of activities by teachers, careers professional and teaching support staff and other external partners e.g. employers and further and higher education providers.
Careers within the curriculum can impact our students by:
