Careers Programme 2022-23
|
At Corbridge Middle School we want all our young people to understand the full range of opportunities available to them in today’s world and help them to acquire the skills and qualifications they will need to succeed in the workplace today and in the future. We believe that every pupil should have multiple opportunities to learn from employers about work, employment and the skills that are valued in the workplace. We also aim to prepare our pupils for the opportunities in the next stage of their education, a time when they will make choices about their future study
All of our pupils from Year 5 to Year 8 will have access to a planned careers education information and guidance (CEIAG) programme which supports us in achieving our aims. In Years 5 and 6 this will be delivered as part of PSHE within our Care & Culture curriculum and all teachers will support our whole-school approach to careers education information and guidance by making explicit links within their own subject areas/specialisms and sharing this with the children they teach. In Year 7 and Year 8 pupils participate in a weekly timetabled Ambition lesson as part of our school curriculum as well as discrete units linked to the work of work as part of the weekly PSHE curriculum and independent guidance from a professionally qualified careers advisor.

Past Careers Fair
| KS3 Careers Fair - impact |
This event was very successful in providing Key Stage 3 pupils the opportunity to explore a variety of industries which may be of interest as a future career. Twelve different exhibitors were present; some were parents who were contacted via a parent ‘work’ audit which was undertaken in the Autumn term, some were arranged by our connections with the NE Local Enterprise Partnership (NE LEP).
