CEIAG at Beckfoot
Careers Education, Information, Advice & Guidance
At Beckfoot we are committed to providing a year 7up programme of careers and information guidance to allow students to think about, plan, reflect and refine their decision about their post 16 and post 18 options. As part of this, we aim to establish strong links with the wider community including industry experts, businesses, parents, Beckfoot alumni and charities in order to prepare students for life beyond Beckfoot. Our Careers Education programme is designed to meet the needs of all learners at Beckfoot. Activities are personalised to ensure progression in their career learning and development, to strengthen their motivation, aspirations and attainment, and to get them to be excited about their future.
Beckfoot recognises that it has a statutory and moral duty to provide careers education in Years 7 – 11 (1997 Education Act 2003 Regulations) and to give learners access to impartial careers information, education and guidance (1997 Education Act, 2008 Education and Skills Act). We are committed to providing a planned programme of impartial careers education, information, advice and guidance (CEIAG) for all learners in Years 7 – 11, in partnership with engaged providers; and to provide extra support as required for learners with additional needs. Beckfoot follows best practice guidance from the careers profession and from external bodies such as Ofsted.
